Anyone know of any specials on buying HAL Gift Cards?

For some of their cruiseline giftcards, you do, but not HAL or Princess. Carnival yes, go figure.

 

One thing to be aware of (not just you CM, but anyone reading) -- if you are counting on vacation protection from your credit card -- any amount you pay with giftcards will not be covered, even if you purchase the giftcards WITH the credit card. Once this was explained to me by our Chase banker/rep, I stopped buying the AARP cards. OTOH, a card or two applied to OBC would not be a problem, I guess.

I know this is a long shot (any may go against CC guidelines, but I really hope not), but my sister went to buy 5 $500 gift cards for Princess last night and somehow, accidentally, selected 1 Princess and 4 HAL (we've been on a HAL cruise before but not Princess before, so she just wasn't thinking, I guess).  Anyhow, AARP basically said "you're screwed".  If there is anyone that would be interested in purchasing one or more of her card codes (at $450), please send me a message!  She's just trying to recoup her cost, as we don't have any HAL cruises scheduled right now.
