The other week we posted about the chance to save, and save substantially, on a number of the major cruise lines gift cards. Some of them come with terms and conditions that make them difficult to spend and get real value out of them.
That said, Carnival is not one that is hard to spend. In fact they make it so simple that you can and should be looking for any opportunity to pick them up at a discount if you are a Carnival Frequent Floater! If you have a booking you can may payments for as little as $10 at a time so any deal you can get when it comes to gift cards is worth the time.
Right now, through May 16th, Kroger has one of their very frequent 4x points deals on gift cards. You need to download the Kroger App (or register online) for the offer. If you miss this one, or your tank is full right now, there will most likely be another one in a few weeks.
I use the app as I can activate it, go into the store, make a purchase and see the rewards points post instantly. A $250 buy is the perfect sweet spot as that gives you 1000 points good for up to $1.00 off per gallon of fuel at Kroger pumps. Remember buying these kinds of gift cards is fee free unlike some gift cards.
I then also can go directly to the pump and between my wife and I we were able to fill up both our cars and get mower gas and pump all 35 gallons for a $35 savings. The final important reminder as part of this deal is also paying with the right cards.
Considering using the card_name. That earns 6% cash back on up to $6,000 per year in purchases at U.S. supermarkets. That means you can get another 6% back for a total of $50 off a $250 Carnival Gift card (Cash back is awarded in the form of Reward Dollars, which can be applied toward statement credit. Terms apply.)
The cruise I am currently paying for, slowly deal by deal, is one of the nearly “free” ones I picked up with my Caesars Diamond status that you can read more about here.
Happy discounted cruising, everyone!- René
