turquoisesea Posted June 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2018 In January we used some Amex reward points to “buy” a Carnival Cruise gift card. We used it when making our final payment. The picture of this Gift Card on the Amex website showed a card with pictures of all the Carnival logos, including Princess. Here’s my question... This year I have lots of reward points on a Chase credit card. On their website they have a card that is just titled “Carnival.” No, the reps at Chase and Princess had no idea if it could be used on our upcoming Princess cruise. Any thoughts??

fishywood Posted June 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I don't believe Princess accepts any gift cards other than ones with their logo. And unless your Chase Rewards credit card is a lot better than mine, none of the gifts cards available have a cash value higher than just redeeming the points for cash.

moki'smommy Posted June 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I can just turn my Chase reward points into dollars that are automatically sent to whatever account I choose. No need to mess with gift cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted June 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2018 A Carnival Corp gift card should be able to be used with Princess. A Carnival Cruise Lines gift card would not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngamtns706 Posted June 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Amex and Chase (sapphire for example) points are valued at a much higher value by transferring them to partners or at least using the Chase travel portal than a statement credit or gift cards. Or redeeming those Amex points at merchants that let you at point of sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
