For many programs (most notably Delta), this is a serious overvaluation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the airline frequent flier programs, it has been estimated that each point or mile is worth a little over 1 cent. Enough airline miles can be used to book free flights, but not to acquire status as can Power Up Points. A better comparison would be a PUP point to an American Airlines Loyalty Point that can be used to build status. But then Celebrity points (and those of other cruise lines) win hands down because airline status expires at the end of each year. Cruise Line status lasts forever, or as in the case of Azamara, until the cruise line "upgrades" its IT system and loses its passengers' information.

After my 3 booked cruises I will still be 126 points shy of Elite+. 😄 We are further away than you. I must confess I don't really know how points for cruises are calculated, just that I need more!

Rare shipshape sam Posted August 8, 2023 #7471 Share Posted August 8, 2023 We no longer consider the AI offers. We get the drinks, the laundry, the internet minutes and that is basically what we use from our Elite + status. Celebrity has lessen the value of their Captain's Club program which is a shame and a lesson learned at the same time. We do like and use the drinks credits, will take advantage of the laundry and maybe use some minutes. Last cruise did not use any of our Elite + internet minutes.

upwarduk Posted August 14, 2023 #7475 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Is it 14/15 of the month when Power up Points are added to our accounts? I thought it was 14th, but nothing yet. Rather confused, as Check in for my Cruise is 15th, but people on the same cruise maintain its 16th. Fortunately, I’m not desperate to get an early embarkation time, as we are travelling on Eavesway coaches this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
