lovejact Posted January 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Most American Express Card Members can now use Membership Rewards points to purchase a gift card for Carnival Corporation that then can be used on Princess, Holland American, Cunard, or Seabourn towards booking or to purchase onboard services. You were always able to do this, but they have changed the conversion rate. It is now 100 points = $10, it use to be 150 points = $10 when I did this last year. Go to https://global.americanexpress.com/rewards/gift-cards It appears that this new rate is also across other gift cards they offer including hotels and rental cars. It is listed under Carnival and not princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane.in.ny Posted January 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'm not sure this is available to all Amex members. I have an Amex Delta affinity card and I can't find anything about Membership Rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be getting a big one for our upcoming TA on the Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejact Posted January 28, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm not sure this is available to all Amex members. I have an Amex Delta affinity card and I can't find anything about Membership Rewards. I have the same card as you. You will not find this offer if you log into your account on the AMEX website, you will only find it on the AMEX Membership Rewards site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted January 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I checked and my Amex doesn't qualify for the rewards program. I guess it's because I get cash back on my purchases. Or are there Amex cards out there that offer both (without an annual fee)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseGal999 Posted January 28, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm not sure this is available to all Amex members. I have an Amex Delta affinity card and I can't find anything about Membership Rewards. Well ... I found the Carnival gift card, but not in lower denoms. Only 5,000, 10,000 points and higher.

You will not find this offer if you log into your account on the AMEX website, you will only find it on the AMEX Membership Rewards site. I went to the Amex membership rewards site. AND it is still 5,000, 10,000 points and higher. There isn't any 100 points for $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
