AryMay Posted November 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The American Express offer is back...spend $500 for any Carnival Corporation branded cruise and get a $100 statement credit. Offer is good until March 31, 2019. You have to go to your online account and add the offer. So far the offer is only showing up on our Blue Cash Everyday card but I will keep checking in case it is offered on either our Delta or Hilton AMEX cards. This offer (or one similar) seems to show up a couple of times a year. We were able to save $900 on our upcoming South America cruise by making payments with different cards.

scottee Posted November 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I just saw this too, but are already paid in full (and booked through Costco). Can I take advantage of this by purchasing on board credit and then just cashing out the on board credit at the end of the cruise? Or does it still work to use onboard credit to load a poker pro account and then use that to convert to cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrcruiser Posted November 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2018 All though we have AMX credit cards ,we prefer to book using our Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card ;because we then get Free trip cancellation & free trip interruption insurance + baggage insurance .We save really big with not having to buy the insurance . Chase covers us up to a $10000 .00 each trip cost . all we then buy is a supplemental medical & medical evacuation policy at $91 . We are 79 & 80 ,so trip insurance is rather costly with out the Chase trip insurance benefit .We now can cruise more often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t sound like it. Fine print says “statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their system will allow you to add it to one card per person. When a person tries to add it to more than one of their cards, the message you saw shows up and the offer cannot be added. This doesn't just happen with this particular offer. It can happen with something as small as $5 off $20 at Five Guys Burgers & Fries. They'll sometimes let you double up on 2x points offers, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quite understand why Amex elects to give $100 cash rebate to some and 10k reward points to others? It's the same promo. Why the different treatments?

Call your TA or PCC and ask them to purchase OBC through their reservation system. The charge will show up as Holland America Res on your Amex and it will trigger the offer. If you buy it any other way it will post as Holland America Web and you won’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
