Thelongos Posted September 1, 2016 #130 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Do you have multiple card numbers on one account! Or actually three different accounts? We have one personal account where I have an additional cardmember and I have a business card which is also linked to my personal amex account login. However, that additional cardmember (spouse) has their own login to their own site although we pay the bill on my personal account login. Back in the day I could see all cards, but now I can only see my personal card and my business card (the 3rd card) although I can see the add'l cardmember's purchases. We've used 3 individual offers many times for various other services. I've read reports of of 9 year olds getting credit cards haha, now I'm thinking of getting my children an additional card. I wouldn't give it to them of course but it supposedly helps build up credit (and they keep on coming up with better amex offers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLEIKU68 Posted September 1, 2016 #131 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If you use the Amex Platinum card and book a Jr Suite or better you can get a $300 OBC each cruise. If you cruise more than once a year it pays for itself. Booking a lower category will get less of a credit. These credits are not combinable with other discounts so you need to see what works best in your situation. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonV1 Posted September 1, 2016 #132 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Just a refresher: All Amex cards get Offers, even Serve prepaid. And multiple cards on an account can get the same offer BUT log into them all at the same time as I've seen offers disappear if one card accepts it before another has logged in. If all are logged in, all can get the offer (if available). Last time a deal like this came up I had my TA make a payment towards an existing booking (just enough to qualify for the offer). Not to burst anyone's bubble, but if you have bought from Royal on your Amex you probably won't get the offer. Other cards on the same account who haven't though might so check them all. Sometimes you get get offers via Twitter that aren't available online, but not all offers have Twitter hashtags. To see current Twitter hashtags for Amex Offers browse: https://twitter.com/AmexOffers/with_replies - You'll see the replies Amex does to those who enroll for these offers using linked Twitter accounts.

Under terms of offer this was stated on the amex page: " Limit 1 statement credit(s) per American Express® Card across all American Express offer channels. " So should be fine with getting a credit for each card. If amex only wanted you to have one credit only it would be per account instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoeyVictoria Posted September 1, 2016 #135 Share Posted September 1, 2016 We kept checking for another offer and finally gave up and made final payment for the Harmony last month. Would it be possible to prepay gratuities and add $200 OBC? Does RCI even allow you to purchase OBC in advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 1, 2016 #136 Share Posted September 1, 2016 ... Does RCI even allow you to purchase OBC in advance? Yes, call 800-722-5443 to purchase OBC from Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdpups Posted September 1, 2016 Author #137 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I just used my card to buy specialty dining and an excursion on a cruise I had already paid final payment for and received the email right away that I am getting the $75 credit.

iluvcruzin Posted September 1, 2016 #139 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Thanks for the heads up. I missed the previous one. Just in time for final payment. :) I think you can use it for any payment to RCCL (one asked about prepaid grats). I've seen people do it for Princess cruises after final payment. I think Amex just checks the merchant was RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinXC Posted September 1, 2016 #140 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Thanks to all the CC'ers for this great information. I was able to get the $75 AX credit.......and additional OBC. Here's what the TA wrote: "The [AX Privileges] program entitles you to $300 onboard credit for this sailing a bottle of champagne. With the promotions you booked on board and the AX program you now have a TOTAL of $800 onboard credit." As noted, I booked onboard a Grand Suite for two sailing in Feb 2017.

ZoeyVictoria Posted September 1, 2016 #141 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yes, call 800-722-5443 to purchase OBC from Royal. Thank you! I purchased on board credit and received the "card not present transaction approved" email and the "you just used your Amex offer" email simultaneously.

ajv87 Posted September 1, 2016 #142 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I canceled a previously bought drink package for an upcoming cruise, repurchased it with the AMEX and immediatly got the email that says that the offer has been used and 75 credit would be applied to my account.

FalklandIslander Posted September 1, 2016 #143 Share Posted September 1, 2016 One of my four Amex cards has the offer, so I added it. Now I just have to decide how to spend $350 before 14 October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well :( Can it be combined? Because we got a few hundred in OBC from Royal also as some sort of special. Love my Platinum Amex. If you travel at all, the card pays for itself many times over.

FalklandIslander Posted September 1, 2016 #146 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If you have a cruised booked already, make a $350 payment. That's one of the options I'm considering. I have three coming up that are fully paid and the only one that is not fully paid is in 2018, so I'm not excited about making a payment so far in advance.

bravostar Posted September 2, 2016 #147 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Just checked and sure enough the offer was on one of our three cards. It is after final payment but I added OBC and received immediate response from Amex that I indeed used this offer.That is the reason I love these boards. Thank you for the heads up!

FalklandIslander Posted September 2, 2016 #148 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I just prepaid the gratuities for an upcoming transatlantic. That exceeded $350 and Amex notified me that I had used the offer and that I would receive the statement credit if the charge meets all the terms and conditions. We'll see.
