Carnival Gift Card Recalled??

[PattBenatar]

Can you provide some examples, please? Using the cards within the limits defined by the corporation is not fraud, so I (as an auditor) would be interested to see what you believe is fraudulent activity.

 

 

Gift cards are meant to be used as credit towards Carnival merchandise not buying them to turn them in for cash for a 10 percent profit. It is fraud plain and simple.

 

Fraud-

frauds (plural noun)

1. wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain
   

Buying gift cards for 10 percent off face value to resell them to Carnival for face value for cash is fraud..... (casino loophole)

I work for Publix and they had the Carnival gift cards as well. The ones that are not working are the ones that were loadable from $25 to $500. They were deactivated by Carnival and the new ones that are loadable are for $100 to $500. I also liked buying the lower ones to save for spending on the cruise. The new ones do work so that may have been the issue.
