Gift Cards

[cruiser20145]

Can someone explain Carnival gift cards to me? I see threads about them, but I don't understand what they are for.

You can use them for anything! Cruise fare, excursions, Cheers, gratuities, anything Carnival-related. Either use them to purchase excursions, drink packages, gifts, whatever online or add them to your Sign and Sail account when you board.

They are gift cards, just like the gift cards you would buy for any retailer or restaurant. You can use them to pay for your cruise, purchase items pre-cruise (excursions, Fun Shops purchases, prepay grats, etc), or apply them to your S&S account on board. I purchase them at a 10% discount from AARP Rewards for Good, saving 10% on my cruise.

Carnival Gift Cards are incredibly easy to use for anything Carnival, just don't confuse them with the booking only certificate that some cc rewards offer.

Are AARP gift cards only available at certain times? Mom is a member, and would love to save money.

Where can you fund the gift cards other than AARP?

You did not have to be a member of AARP to buy the gift cards at https://www.aarp.org/rewards-for-good/earn-points/

 

I have found them to always be available but sometimes the e-card is not available and you have to get it mailed.

Carnival Gift Cards may be purchased online at carnival.ourgiftcards.com, onboard our fleet or at approximately 9,000 retail locations.

I know some grocery stores like Kroger also carry the cards but more than likely those are not sold at any discount.

Allstate or reputable ebay!

They're popular because of the discount. Recently ebay was offering them for 15% off (limit 3). AARP and All State constantly offer them for 10% off. I used my $300 at 15% off and combined it with a 10% off card to pay for cheers on an upcoming cruise. It was going to cost like $360 and it cost me like $308 after the discounts.

Smart grocery store shoppers will wait for a triple or quadruple loyalty or gas points promotion to stock up on gift cards. It may not be a percent off the GC purchase but it is saving them something.
