Sayuil Posted October 12, 2021 #176 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I had "Spend 500$ get 200$ back on my card" and my friend had the same offer (He is not in my travelling party). I was able to split my payment and used offers from both the card. So that's another idea, for those who have not received this offer on your card. Time to ask friends & family for favor.

derorim Posted October 12, 2021 #177 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I have to admit, I’ve had my AMEX card for many years and never even knew it had offers. When I read this thread, I checked my account and found I had the $500 off $1500 offer. I’m pleased to report we are now booked on the Anthem in December. 😀 Thanks for the heads up, @ZoeyVictoria! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Planner purchases show up the same as cruise fare payments on the statement, so yes. My TA verified herself by making dining package purchases and it triggered an email that she had used her offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted October 13, 2021 #180 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Can this be used on already booked cruises. I have 7 cruises booked now (two are paid up but there are still 5 in 2022-2023 that need to be paid for.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skagen Posted October 13, 2021 #184 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Just a data point to say that I used both mine and wife's $500 off $1500 offers on a cruise that had been previously booked on a 3rd party site (popular one) but hadn't been fully paid for yet. Made two payments against it from both wife and my cards - very next day received confirmation email from AMEX notifying me that I had triggered the conditions for the offer for our $1000 back in total. Pretty sweet. So, just to say multiple offers used on the same cruise booking, the cruise booking was done months ago and these were just applied payments, and that it was through a 3rd party and not directly through Royal. All things people probably gathered but figured I'd chime in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to book an Apr 2022 cruise this week and make $1500 in payments. I'll then cancel under the CWC policy in Feb/Mar. That will give me a future cruise credit good until Apr 2023. Booking solo to ensure I get the entire FCC in my name I had considered this since my TA won't take Amex payment, and I have called 4 times (on hold for over an hour each) to transfer booking back to rccl , without any luck. Still on the fence, but $500 savings is TOO much to lose out on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbach Posted October 13, 2021 #186 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I have a May 2022 cruise (through a TA) that final payment is not due until February 2022. I'd like to prepay some of it now to take advantage of this. I know based on past experience that paying through the TA shows up on the credit card as being billed by Royal directly, so that shouldn't be an issue. If I prepay $1000 now, and end up cancelling before final payment is due, will I get that $1000 back? I assume yes, but will it be "cash" (e.g. a credit card refund) or FCC? If the price of the cruise drops below what I've paid before final payment date, will I get the overage back? Again, would this be "cash" or FCC? Thanks.

lonestarmikeb Posted October 13, 2021 #188 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Thank you everyone, I got the $500 off $1500 and by creating a separate account for my wife's card we were able to get a second $500 off $1500. SWEET!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I add gratuities would it count as spending $1500 to get my $500 This should work as AMEX looks at the total charged to the card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyDillo Posted October 14, 2021 #192 Share Posted October 14, 2021 My same card that had the Royal offer just gave me a spend $300 with Delta and get $125 back. It's like they want me to plan an entire vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine if you both see the offer you could both use it since this offer's terms indicated it was limited to one per cardholder and I'd presume you're considered different cardholders even if it's a joint account... but I'm not sure. Totally unrelated but figure I'd just mention that card sign up bonuses on AMEX cards are once-per-lifetime so if that's a concern you might want to consider each having your own card account for AMEX cards in the future if you decide to get another AMEX.

DrProfessor Posted October 14, 2021 #198 Share Posted October 14, 2021 OK. I'm like a few others on here. Been using AMEX for many years and never knew they had offers like this. I checked and had the $350 on $1000 back offer. Added to my card and I will have no problem charging that before the end of December. Many thanks to the original poster and everyone else for the heads up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutigerlady Posted October 14, 2021 #200 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Thank you! I've been an Amex user for years and never knew about these offers! I occasionally get some in the mail, but it is never to something I actually use. The ones online had several that benefit me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
