Note I did not say choose from a catalog (untenable) or discount item. You might not like the “plan” but that it is what it is. Plats have grown exponentially and make some of the GIFTS in the past unrealistic from a cost perspective. Look for changes in the program later this year. I don't understand why it's an unrealistic cost perspective when it's tax deductible and they get it back. I have done enough bulk buying to know that the more you buy, the cheaper it gets. Gift giving is suppose to be something that the recipient would use...not something that a lot of people have no use for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A write off does not equal no cost, it means there is a credit when it comes to tax. The whole purpose of the gift was a Carnival logo item as a token of thanks for being loyal and reaching a level of loyalty. Not a discount, not a free this or that. When the number of these per ship reaches so many, it is untenable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeidiHo Posted February 17, 2020 #57 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Got the luggage tag on the Panorama last week. I liked it. It's not something I really needed but it's cute and it's just one more thing on my bag to help identify my luggage when I fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last cruise we ended up with the lanyard. Gave them to a couple of kids at the table next to us at dinner. If the gift is still the luggage tags i will use them.
