The Two Must-Have Cards That Save You HUNDREDS On Cruises (12% Off Retail)

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator explains how travelers can save up to 12 percent on cruise vacations by combining two specific financial strategies. First, the creator highlights the AARP rewards program, noting that membership is open to all ages for a small annual fee. Through the AARP rewards section, members can purchase digital gift cards for major cruise lines like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, and Holland America at a 10 percent discount from their face value. The creator clarifies that while these gift cards are digital and may have specific terms regarding new reservations, they offer significant savings on expensive trips. Second, the creator suggests using a rewards or cash back credit card to purchase these discounted gift cards to layer additional savings. By combining the initial 10 percent discount from AARP with a 2 percent cash back credit card, travelers can maximize their total savings. The video concludes with a personal demonstration of the process, advising viewers to check their junk folders for digital delivery and to print the gift cards for safekeeping.

Creator's Key Takeaways
you simply use these two cards and you save a total of 12 which adds up to a huge amount off of your vacation
the cards are 10 off of the face value so a hundred dollar gift card sells for 90 bucks and a 500 gift card sells for 450
I signed up and I'm nowhere near 50 years old a membership costs only about 12 bucks a year too
if you not only purchase the gift cards for a discount via AARP but then combine it with using a reward credit card you can supercharge the savings even more
