Sparky2 Posted June 16, 2014 #26 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I guess I am wondering why people waited to the last minute?? I always worry that there is " Fine Print" such as while supplies last. Or whatever. Not saying this is the issue but if everyone was so excited to do it and you would have had to use a CC anyway not sure why people waited. Guess I am one that is get it quick before the deal is gone even if it says whatever. Got mine the 2nd day and the bonus card came the next morning no hitches. As I mentioned previously, I bought $1000 worth the first day it was offered. However, this AM I decided to add $400 more. If I don't get the bonus cards on the $400, I'll be calling CCL and fight it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwb348 Posted June 16, 2014 Author #30 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I took a screen shot of the offer saying it expired the 16th. Bought two more today becuase customer service said it was still good even though the wording was removed and I would absolutely get the promotion. I'm holding them to it. Thanks, Michelle. I was a little more persistent after reading your message, and found someone in Carnival that was willing to do a little more digging. Per the promotion department, the promotion is on until midnight tonight - even though the wording about the promotion is gone. We never got the email originally; just read about it on CC forum and then we had computer trouble. Any chance you could post your screen shot in case some of us have don't get the bonus as promised?

CrusinMike Posted June 17, 2014 #34 Share Posted June 17, 2014 How long was between the time you got your paid card emailed and your promo card. I waited until today, and they said they would honor, so I just want to put this behind me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacmo24 Posted June 17, 2014 #35 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Glad to find this thread. Do we have to call to get our 10%? I tried emailing giftcards @ carnival dot com and it bounces back. I have a cached version of the page with the working as well as a screenshot. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:hLCWt7HtkwgJ:www.carnivalgiftcards.com/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserxx04 Posted June 17, 2014 #37 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I just called to make sure it was still going on and like stated they are honoring the promotion until 11:59 pm June 16th (tonight). I was excited because was planning on buying one for my cruise this saturday and using the extra money, but the rep told me the extra credit takes 10 business days to be received... bummer for me but could still work for some people!:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do a ecard, the promotional card comes overnight. I did 3 cards on 2 separate days. Each time I got the ecard immediately and then received the promotional ecard at midnight and again at 5am. For some reason they were sending them out twice but the number was the same. So you should be able to get your promotional card tomorrow if you order today.

Sharon Not to mention that it would certainly come at some point during your trip even if it took 10 days, so you could just get it from your email and assign it to your S&S card at some point during the cruise.

Bookbug53 Posted June 17, 2014 #42 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Was excited to do the gift card promotion for $3,000 (and receive extra 10% card), and website said it was through July 16. Went to do it this morning, and found it is over.I spoke with Carnival, and they say it was over midnight of July 16. Isn't midnight tonight at 12? And doesn't "through the 16th" mean you have all of the 16th? I feel this was misrepresented by Carnival. It wasn't ( and isn't over) until midnight tonight. Buy the card and get the promo up to midnight tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofE Posted June 17, 2014 #43 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It's irritating that they won't own up to the fact that it must've been a huge typo. the matter of fact way that they say that due to the confusion, they'll throw us a bone and extend it. When the truth is that midnight never means the morning of. That's like saying that you kept waking up at 3 at night to go to the bathroom. Mid NIghT is midway through the NIGhT. Not morning.

richfret Posted June 17, 2014 #45 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I worked for major retailers and when a sale was advertised through the 16th, you could buy it on sale for the entire day of the 16th. You did not need a stop watch to check and see if it was mid night. That's not the way retail works. If Carnival was smart, they would have come out this morning and said there was some confusion about timing so the promotion was continued until the end of this day. You want to make customers not antagonize them. Now let me check. is this a leap year? Does Daylight saving take place during tonight? Are we are ship time? Enough said. I got my promotional discounts but I sympathize with those who got caught up in this timing issue. OK Carnival, you goofed but you made up for it and I give you credit for that. That's why I am booked for cruise 18 with you. So thanks for listening. I got my promotional discounts and every one else had to chance to do the same. Carnival, we are still buddies and I plan to book cruise 19 while on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepygirl1 Posted June 17, 2014 #46 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Yep, they goofed. Thru 6/16 absolutely does not mean 12am on the morning of 6/16...that would be thru 6/15. I'm just glad they are honoring it, even though I haven't received by 2-$100 cards yet. I'm trying to wait the 24-48 hrs before contacting them. Please post if you receive your promotional card for a 6/16 order...I'll do the same. Edited June 17, 2014 by sleepygirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_pirate Posted June 17, 2014 #47 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The promotion started on the 4th I believe. Not sure why some wait until the last second to take advantage of promotions. :rolleyes: You snooze you loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, Carnival realizes that they goofed because they say they are honoring through 6/16 (which is what promotion said). Yes, some waited until the end but, if the promotion has a date to date listed and you buy at ANY time during the promotion then you shouldn't LOSE.
