billslowsky Posted February 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I received a co-branded Celebrity / American Express brochure in the mail today, told me I could go to a link provided that started with American Express and ended with Celebrity Cruises, and see my "offer", through March 27, 2022. Of course (why else would I post?) the link took me to no such offer, there wasn't anything from Celebrity on the list of offers to sign up for. Did anyone have any success with this?

wrk2cruise Posted February 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Have you looked through your full list of offers on the Amex account? I had one from awhile back and was able to take advantage of spend $500 and get $150 back. There is another offer which involves rewards points. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewomb Posted February 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I count one “spend $500 get 150 back” on platinum and “spend 500 get 15,000 points on gold. ] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll accept some of them that expire soon and see if more come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba3122 Posted February 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Same problem as well. I'm a gold card holder so perhaps it doesn't apply to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same mailing, and I believe that it is referring to an offer that I and Player Two both got a couple months ago ($150 off $500) and we've already used. The expiration date was the same for that offer. We did not get a new offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have learned that Amex doesn't update the offers until you clear out (accept) some of the available ones... mine was sitting on 100 unused ones, I accepted 25 or so that I'll never use and they were replaced with different ones - but not Celebrity.

Rare graphicguy Posted February 18, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) First thing I check when just browsing a cruise booking are the AMEX offers. They’ve ranged from OBC to additional points to free wine/Champagne. There’s usually something they offer. But, they change from card to card. What’s relevant for an AMEX issued Platinum card (for example) isn’t relevant for a Delta branded AMEX Platinum card.

Rare graphicguy Posted February 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 18, 2022 When I booked my upcoming APEX cruise, I had an AMEX Platinum of $300 OBC if I paid with the AMEX. But, I think that offer went away, as I know longer see it. It does show up on my Celebrity cruise planner, though. I got in right under the wire.

jy0ung1 Posted February 18, 2022 #18 Share Posted February 18, 2022 In the US, it was limited as it has been in past offers. You had to add it to your card before the threshold was met (Unknown what level triggered that). After their threshold is met, it is no longer available to be added to your card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, had to “opt in” one of AMEX’s special offers they send to me monthly. Not sure what the qualifiers were, but I used to use my AMEX Plat for business travel…a lot. So, I would imagine given I just retired, some of those really good perks will go away given my AMEX spending is in a nose dive.

Dr. Pam Posted February 20, 2022 #22 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I am sure everyone is aware of the Cruise Privileges Program for Platinum AMEX holders.

Julma Posted February 20, 2022 #23 Share Posted February 20, 2022 For those who have not taken advantage of this yet, it works for Celebrity Air as well. We have 4 plat. cards on our account. I made $500 payments from each card and was able to get $600 back then my card came up with an additional one of 15,000 bonus points, so put another $500 down and got that. It was very easy to use different cards to make payments online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmsb Posted February 20, 2022 #24 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I have the offer on my Platinum card. Question to this group: If you book with Amex Travel you get the perks of the Cruise Privilege Program and the special offer. Does anyone know if you book a sky suite, do you also get the perks that come with that cabin class (Retreat on new ships). Retreat benefit is $400 pp OBC, premium drinks, tips, wi-fi, etc. Trying to figure out if you get both. It seems like the cabin class benefit would not be dependent on how you book/pay for the cruise. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted February 20, 2022 #25 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) If Celebrity is offering OBC, the AMEX Platinum OBC is additional and can be added to your Celebrity OBC. Perks like Streaming internet, tips, etc are also included and in addition to the AMEX OBC. If you book a "SIMPLY SAIL" Retreat rate, then no perks are offered. So, not sure about AMEX's OBC perk. I don't see why they wouldn't offer it, though. Edited February 20, 2022 by graphicguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
