AARP Rewards eGift Cards

Maybe Princess is closing the loophole for abuse of gift cards, which are clearly being used as a cruise discount, not as a gift.

Who says that you have to use a gift card as a gift?  It's a purchase that is made without restrictions as to how it's utilized and redeemed.  Carnival and HAL still have cards available at a 10% discount, yet the powers that be from Princess have decided to eliminate the purchase option.  SMH

I believe they have spent a lot of money to hire Cost Reduction Consultants, and this is just one example of their work.  JMO

I too have been purchasing the 8% discounted Princess gift cards from AARP.  After it appears this is not possible at this time, I searched elsewhere.  I have found that my local credit union offers a program called "Prizeout," which allows one to buy various different merchant gift cards at discounted prices.   I can get Princess gift cards at a 9% discount.   The only drawback is that I have to purchase these through my credit union checking account (all done through my online account) and cannot purchase them with a credit card (which gives me additional rewards).  To see whether or not your particular bank or credit union provides this, or something similar, is worth a look.

If anyone has a credit card that gives extra cash back at Amazon (I have one that gives 5%) Princess cards are available.
