One of the Publix $20-500s is the Carnival Gift Card. Per Carnival you may redeem multiple gift cards per transaction. Anyone know if there is a limit to the number of Carnival cards that can be used to pay for a cruise? If there is no limit, then Publix policy will not stop Carnival Cruise discounting as you can run repetitive multi-x AMEX card purchases of Carnival $50 gift cards to discount the price of a Carnival cruise.

In an effort to reduce the opportunity for gift card fraud, a $50 purchase restriction has been implemented for all gift cards that are purchased with a credit card. Gift card activation fees are excluded from this limit. We apologize for any inconvenience, as it is never our intent to inconvenience our loyal customers.
