CARNIVAL GIFT CARDS $100 for $85 (Daily Getaways)

[Organized Chaos]

I am hoping to buy 3. I have two cabins and we have 5 passengers and my cruise is paid in full so this will be for on board purchases only. Should I only buy two (one for each cabin)? I have a total of 7 regular gift cards to put towards my onboard account already. Any advice?

I'd say it's a matter of personal preference as far as how much you'd like to spend on board. I don't know what the denominations are of the seven you already have, but if you think those will be enough, then maybe only get one or two from today's deal for good measure. On the other hand, if you buy three today, you'd have ten total, or two for each of you. A nice even number. :D

 

I look at today's deal and see a savings of $30 if I buy two or $45 if I buy three. That's $30/$45 of free money we get to spend on board. A few free drinks, for example. We already have two cards on the way from the AARP rewards, but I can't pass today's deal up. Our cruise is still a year away, so we have plenty of time to get more from AARP if we want, but getting 15% off today is probably the best deal we'll see on these cards. All of the other promotions I've seen are 10% off. When it's all said and done, we'll use some of them to pay down on the balance and some for OBC. I don't want to end up with extra cards when the cruise is over because we don't know when the next one will be and, knowing my luck, we'd end up losing them.

I read all of the fine print and I think we'll do it. I can't pass up such a great deal! Since it's posted on here, it'll probably be even harder to get though :(. Oh well, I'm happy to at least have the ones we already have. It would sure be a nice cushion to have some extra!

Another good deal and thanks for sharing.

LOL I thought about that too. But I haven't seen it mentioned in any other threads, so I don't think it's being talked about much on here. Just remember, they go on sale at 1pm EST, if you live in a different time zone. Just about 50 minutes away now. :)

 

Looks like a totally legit deal to me. The U.S. Travel Association appear to have all their ducks in a row and partner with several big-name companies to do this every year (Carnival & Orbitz being two new additions this year).

[winchesterdog]

It's legit. The U.S. Travel Association Daily Getaways promotion is anxiously awaited each year. Ive been tracking this promotion since Jan. The deals are not as good this year but the Carnival Card looks great! Hopefully everybody will get what they need and maybe next year Carnival will increase the number.

[Organized Chaos]

Thanks for the heads up on this, winchesterdog. Only 5 minutes left. :D Get 'em while they're hot!!

They're up & running, folks. Just click on "BUY NOW." Be sure to pick your quantity from the little drop-down menu at the very beginning of the order.

 

I got my 3. I think I'm going to see if I can get more with a separate transaction and the same email & info.

Got $300 worth. Thank you sooo much!! Best deal I've gotten yet and I paid for my whole cruise along with my spending cash with Verizon and AARP gift cards at 10% off. I feel I have saved so much on this cruise. Guess I'll have to book another one ;)

FYI

Did it let you buy another 3? I don't need 6 right now, just curious.

[zippydoda1]

I purchase them but 1 in one transaction and 2 in a second transaction because I didn't' see the quantity drop down next to the buy now button.

[cruizinisthebest]

Got 2. Now the wait 10-12 days for the darn email to arrive. But it's ok. My next cruise isn't until August. Fingers crossed it all works out. So far so good. Thanks a bunch to the OP for posting this!!

[pmb526]

Yes.

[mzlinda]

Since these are e-cards and not physical gift cards, does anyone have any experience with Carnival e-cards? Any trouble using them to pay on a booking or adding to an S&S account? Since we'd be emailed the card information, how does it work? Do we present the email to guest services if we'd like to add it to S&S?

 

According to their description:

Carnival Gift Cards can be used towards the purchase of a Carnival cruise, online pre-purchases of shore excursions, spa experiences and Fun Shop gifts

or redeemed onboard toward the Sail & Sign account

for gifts, drinks, and fun.

 

And their Terms & Conditions:

Gift Cards are redeemable at participating Carnival Cruise Line® ships for passenger travel to pay for ticket purchases

and as deposit to an onboard account.

 

I bought egift cards directly from Carnival last year. I just print out the confirmation with the gift card codes and put it in my travel wallet with my passport and other cruise documents. It was no problem having them added to my S&S account once onboard the ship.

 

Please note that those cards were purchased directly from Carnival, so I am not vouching for buying them thru this particular site. I am just saying that Carnival egift cards are readily accepted on board.

I just ordered six total... three under my name with my debit card and three under the wife's name with her debit card. It went through. Fingers crossed.
