I guess I hadn't gone back far enough since I saw someone post about the offer but did not see the link. Also saw a post with the image and showing where to click, but that didn't do much good if you don't have the email. Just registered my wife and myself.

Book airfare for that cruise under the current promo. Get 50 PowerUpPoints which become 5 CC points. Go on your scheduled cruise as Elite. Cancel the cruise booked in step 1. Lose the 5 CC points that were credited in step 2, but you already hit Elite with the points earned on the cruise from step 3. Basically, you're taking out a loan on those CC points. Nice shell game ! (what line of work are you in? lol) Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too! I am now only 4 points away from Elite. Praying to earn them by our February cruise! Too bad we can't get the points until we complete the next cruise.

Travelexpert35 Posted November 15, 2022 #5705 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Got my points today as well. Just checked and I have earned 101 points since they started in June 2020. Just need 283 points to Elite Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, book hundreds of refundable cruises way out and book flights to get to Zenith for your next cruise. T&Cs say 50 PUP per reservation, not per person. A lot of money put down up front, but fully refundable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they really claw back the points you got for booking the flights if you cancel later on? Is there any history of them doing this? I would personally suggest booking airfare for a cruise that you already have booked (assuming that it's far enough out), but of the "don't pay until final payment" variety. Then cancel the flights once you get your points, No money laid out like there would be if you booked a new cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually 2 PUPs, if earned by themselves, would be rounded up to the nearest whole number for captains club points. So you earned 2 PUPs in a month, that would be converted to 1 CC point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a purely theoretical point though -- I think every PUP promo in the last year has been in multiples of 10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
