Carnival Gift Card Recalled??

Just tried to purchase some Carnival gift cards from our local Kroger store and was told that they were recalled. They went and pulled all of them off the rack.

Unfortunately, Kroger is the only store we can get them at in our small town. Hopefully it is just a glitch and I can get some before we leave for our cruise.

Anyone else had this issue?

The cashier was kind enough to ask if there were any other gift cards I may want instead. Not quite sure if he understood the purpose of a Carnival gift card :)

I get all our gift cards through All State (Drivewise). No you don't have to have insurance with them but you have to download there app. I have already saved $400.00 towards our cruise.

Do you know they get LOTS OF INFO off your phone for the app.No way would I do this after reviews .

I tried purchasing a $25 gift card from Kroger about a month ago and it was recalled as well. I like the $25 increments better because it's easier to give out as gifts and to receive them as gifts.

Nice gifts! Love when we get them.

It’s okay to send us some lol!

You can buy discounted e cards through AARP rewards for good. You do not have to be an AARP member. You take quizzes to earn points. I just got 3 ($100) cards for 3000 points and $270. You get an email the same date of purchase with the card number and Pin.

My son tried to buy 600$ in Carnival cards at Lowes a week or two ago. That sale would not process correctly (he was paying with cash). Customer service told him that they have a limited amount they can sell in a block of time but that if he returned later, it may work. It sounded fishy, but they seemed very certain of this. Now, this particular Lowes is a bit of a cluster at times, so I cant say it with certainty. Your thread got my attention tho !

For anyone who has Verizon phone service, the reward points enable you to purchase gift cards at a 10% discount. Unfortunately that program is ending Nov 1.

I don't know about Verizon, but AARP only allows a purchase or two like cards per 24 hours, so Lowes may be the same

They only allowed me two $500 cards in Oct.

I purchased a gift card from Baker's (Kroger company) on Sunday without any issue.

I Purchased 3 gift cards with amounts of $500 each on Friday during Krogers 4x fuel points. NO ISSUES

I ask for these all the time for BDay & Christmas. We usually get them at Lowe's...they also do not carry them anymore either.

We had the same happen to us today in PA. Pulled all cards off shelf saying they were expired. :(

They cut me off after I purchased 3 cards. I went back a few days later and purchased the other 2 that I wanted.

They can track you if you have that turned on. But actually once you’re registered you don’t even need the app. You can just use the codes they send in email to accumulate points and purchase cards on their website. I used them to pay for my last cruise, deposits on my next two cruises, and I have 50,000 points for future cards.

i see them hanging next to the cash register all the time at our grocery store (Weis) in MD.

If you're still following this thread, try calling Carnival Customer Service at 1-800-764-7419. Maybe someone there can give you the correct information.

They are at our Weis in PA as well. I plan to get one to cover our drinks and get the Holiday discount on our turkey.

I live in the South and am able to buy them at Winn Dixie.

I wonder if Carnival is doing something with the gift cards.

People are using the cards fraudulently, I would expect them to say enough is enough, you have people here on this site that has no hesitation to post how to commit fraud so yea I would hope so.

Same as how to scam using Cheers, smuggling and many other scams. So sad people can not see what is wrong with cheating a company.

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.

I heard there were some fraudulent cards out there and I imagine this explains the recall. I was going to purchase them to pay off a cruise because the fuel point value at Kroger translates to real money in my opinion. I read the stories on here of what happened to some people who had fraudulent cards and was too afraid to try it.

The ones sold at retailers and through rewards programs weren’t affected. It was when they were bought through reselling gift card sites online.
