Redeem Funpoints & Get 10% Back

[karinad]

I got this offer today. I have never redeemed any Funpoints. I only opened my acct. last year and only have about 18,000. When they say redeem, what can I do with them? Can I just put them as a credit to my credit card? Is this an offer that you would take advantage of?

 

Like I said, I have no experience with it. We cruised last Sept. but I forgot to call and redeem them.

 

Thanks for any help!

You can ask the points to be redeemed as credit towards your statement . A call to the credit card customer service rewards people will clarify it nicely.

you can get merchandise or gift cards as well. I got the same offer. but im saving mine for my next cruise for OBC, so im going to have to miss out on this, unless by some chance I get a job offer in the next few days

To get a statement credit, go to the Barclay Carnival website then click on "Manage Rewards" icon, then click on the "Redeem Now" under the "Pay with Fun Points" . Click on the top line of cruises list, then on the "Buy Carnival TKT/RE" icon. You should receive a $100 statement credit for 10,000 points. That is what I got 5 times from the beginning of 2013 to April 2014. Then for some reason when I applied for a credit in mid May I got a $150 credit. I don't know why and I did not want look a gift horse in the mouth so I did not do any research.

Doesn't the credit have to be applied within 6 months after your cruise?

I am waiting till 7/1 to apply 23,000 fun points for a $250 credit on my recently taken cruise and then get 2,300 points back.

i think i read on the cc site that you get the best value if your purchase is $1500 so maybe that's why you received $150 instead of $100. My last cruise purchase was $1296 and for that purchase I only get $100.

Yes - you get the best rate of return redeeming against a $1500 or more Carnival charge. It significantly ups the amount you get for the same points. For any statement credit redemption, you have to have a Carnival charge in the last six months to put it against. The deals for OBC, Spa Credits, other gift certificates, etc. get you much less in $ per point redeemed.

 

If you know how to work the card, pay it in full each month to prevent interest, and manage the redemptions right (for instance I paid in full a cruise I booked four months out instead of putting deposit down and then final payment so I'd have the $1500 charge,) you can end up with significant savings on a cruise.

I thought I also read that the charge doesn't have to be Carnival but anything to do with travel like airfare or another cruise line.

Does anyone know if this offer available to all card holders? or just the ones who received the email?

I would like to know this also since I did not get an email.

There's still a chance that you might receive this offer, too. It doesn't start until July 1 and through Dec.

I have the card and haven't seen this offer either.

[karinad]

I don't see any special code that I could pass along. The small print says it's available to select card members. The most that could be redeemed in that time period is 25,000. I've never redeemed any yet.
