Amex OBC

[McDebbie]

My TA said you can only get the AMEX OBC of $300 for suites if you book directly through AMEX, is this correct? Promo code PCAXOC which started in February and due to end in July. I thought I read all you had to do was use your AMEX card for the deposit and final payment both.

[fiftyguy]

I booked a cruise through ncl, used my AE, and rec'd $300 OBC for booking a suite. I do have to make final payment with AE.

[johnql]

The cruise does NOT have to be booked thru Amex. You simply have to pay for the cruise using your Amex card. I booked thru a TA and received the OBC.

[nackjoke]

I also booked my cruise directly through NCL using my AMEX and see a $300 OBC on my reservation..

Get a new TA. He/she is dead wrong.

I didn't even know that AMEX booked cruises?:confused::eek: But I did talk to a supervisor at NCL and he said that I could get the AMEX OBC so I am applying for one.

[ladeeesquire]

I'm not understanding how you apply for this obc. I looked at the amex travel site but still I'm not sure what to do. I booked my cruise just last week and used my amex.

 

Help please!

Thank you for this information.

 

We originally booked thru ncl then transferred the booking to costco. I've done this in the past and they always offer some sort of obc. In this case it was $100. In looking at my cruise docs, it indicates a Rate Code PGAXOC. I called there to inquire, they were quite unhelpful and told me, without even hearing the promotionor rate codes, that "they couldn't process that" and that the "don't do that here" --I've asked to speak to a supervisor and supposedly they're having someone contact me.

 

So what do you think? you think I already got it? I wouldn't have had to use my amex card to pay for the cruise I don't think.

 

very confused.

[FlorenceItaly]

I've already paid my deposit with another credit card(VISA). How does it work if I now apply for an AE card? Will they go ahead and refund the deposit to the Visa and let me do the deal? I think I will contact my PCC on Monday.

Can I stack the AE OBC with AARP and/or other promos? Just checking to see if I'm reading the fine print correctly.

[fleet]

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I went to the NCL website and tried booking with the PGAXOC promo code. It came back and said everything was sold out except suites. I did this twice to make sure. When I left the promo code off, there were plenty of rooms available. That would be the 12/04/11 Spirit sailing out of NO. Didn't try it on any other dates. So, I guess booking a balcony with that code is not available on that sailing. Seems a bit odd to me.

Balconies and lower categories do not qualify for the Amex promotion:

 

"Inside, Oceanview, and Balcony categories are excluded from the offer."

I would say yes to AARP and certain others (but probably not all):

 

"Offer combinable with PGWAVE11, PG6, Latitudes, Residents, Seniors, Union & Military programs, and PGAARP program code."

I was able to use AE with AARP but I could not combine the suite promo.

[Julma]

I was able to get both Latitudes and Amex OBC. Took two calls to NCL, the first time they said I couldn't. I had paid at first with a different credit card, so they did have to "rebook" me. If there are price changes on your cruise that could be a problem.

[rvsullivan]

Also, you must pay the entire cruise in full at booking. Can't just do a deposit and wait for final payment.:D

I don't think so ...

 

"Reservation(s) MUST be paid IN FULL with any American Express card (deposit & final payment). "

[FlorenceItaly]

I confirmed with my PCC that the Amex and the Suite OBC can not be combined. I booked on a military rate and that was no problem with the Suite OBC. Unfortunately, we are not latitude members as this is our first cruise with NCL. We've cruised on many other lines, just not NCL. We are really looking to the freestyle cruising concept.

[johnql]

Also, you must pay the entire cruise in full at booking. Can't just do a deposit and wait for final payment.:D

Definitely not true. Same process as always - put down deposit and then final payment when sailing date approaches. Only caveat is that both payments must be made using an Amex card.
