ULCajunCruiser Posted March 15 #6303 Share Posted March 15 Well good news, even though I haven't heard anything back from AARP, I needed to buy some cards!! Just bought 10 (2 transactions with 5 cards each) with no issues at all. They must have fixed whatever bug was in there!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjayp Posted March 15 #6304 Share Posted March 15 In the past I seem to remember that it was fairly straightforward to add these to my Apple Wallet. Now, there only seems to be a link on the e gift cards to add to Google Wallet. Has anyone had success recently in putting these on your iPhone for easier retrieval when on board? (I know I can take a picture and save it in my photos, just easier if I can have it stored in my Apple Wallet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email appeared notifying that my purchase from AARP went through. Clicked on Get My Reward button. I had to wait a couple seconds till the Add to Apple Wallet button appeared. Clicked on it then clicked the Add button. I hope it works out better for you in the future! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 more cruises this fall, so I will be buying cards almost every month now. I need to start making my specialty dining reservations and buying CHEERS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback - not sure why my purchase this week didn't give me that option, but I am encouraged that at least the option does still seem to exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted March 16 #6308 Share Posted March 16 So I just purchased some from AARP. How do I add it to my account to pay for my gratuities before boarding? I only see the option to use a credit card or paypal to pay for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mitsugirly Posted March 16 #6315 Share Posted March 16 I just tried adding...like the bottomless bubbles to it and I get to a screen that allows me to add a gift card. So, it seems to work on that. But still not working on the pre paid gratuities. I'm getting to this area by going to my "Booking & Order Details", which list my booking and stateroom, then my "cruise companions", Then "activities & services order history", then at the bottom is the "get ready for your cruise" and list the "Pre-Pay your gratuities before you sail with the button to click.

Knights on the Beach Posted March 16 #6316 Share Posted March 16 I was just able to pay our gratuities for our 4/14 cruise using 3 AARP gift cards. From Booking & Order Details, I clicked on View Invoice Details, then next to Prepaid Gratuities, I clicked on Add which took me to the payment screen showing the Gift Card option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is how you prepay your gratuities with a gift card, at least when you are past final payment date (90 days before cruise) and have already paid your cruise fare in full.

Thanks again! ruimin I booked with a TA as well. I'm wondering if this is the problem. ?? I contacted my TA who said to use the gift cards to buy Cruise Cash. The only problem is...it says you are only allowed to purchase $500 in Cruise Cash per stateroom. Our gratuities for 4 people in the room is more than that ($512) and I still want to purchase the soda package and maybe an excursion as well. UGH! 😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGH! 😡 You said you were able to see the gift card option for bottomless bubbles so why don't you go ahead and pay for that with a gift card? Although if you can pay for that with the gift card, I don't see why don't have the option to do the same for gratuities. BUT will your TA not handle the transaction for you? You shouldn't have to buy cruise cash to cover gratuities, you should be able to pay them outright. You can always leave the gratuities to be paid onboard and apply a gift card to your Sail & Sign account once on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
