Royal Caribbean credit card points

[cruisinfever]

I have been a loyal Royal Caribbean patron. We just booked a TACruise with celebrity. Can I use my RC credit card points for Celebrity. Is it worth getting a Celebrity credit card for the points since it’s $69.00 annual fee? I usually use my points for on board credit.

 

Also will I find RC and Celebrity comparable. We are going on the Reflection.

Yes, you can use your RCI Visa points on Celebrity. I believe you will find that X is better in many ways than RCI.

We find Celebrity is a notch better. We have the other, no-fee Celebrity Visa card and have been getting points for several years.

I would argue there is no reason to get either card. From a rewards standpoint they offer very low rewards. The right card or cards will vary based on your spending habits and how you intend to use rewards - but no matter what you can do better. The one and only thing these cards have going for them is that you get to look at a picture of a cruise ship each time you pull it out of your wallet.

 

Here is a good and recent article covering much better cards (yes, the site receives advertising and or commissions for the cards reviewed but doesn't change the facts that these provide better returns).
