No. You’ll get a email right away that you’ve redeemed the offer if you have one charge over $500. If you’ve made multiple charges that add up to $500 or more you usually won’t get that email but either way the credit will post when your billing statement is ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicpersona Posted June 17, 2022 #53 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Now I am sad. Just yesterday, I paid just over $500 final payment for a September cruise. Wasn't due quite yet .. just wanted to take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rudeney Posted June 17, 2022 #55 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I've been adding offers to get new ones for the last two days, and still no love form AMEX! ☹️ Edited June 17, 2022 by rudeney typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is purchased OBC always coded as OBR? Another strategy I was thinking about was cancelling some shore excursions booked with OBC and then rebook using Amex.

Rare BecciBoo Posted June 17, 2022 #57 Share Posted June 17, 2022 We buy literally everything with our Gold cards, and my hubs company IT, he makes pretty big purchases sometimes, servers etc so our points do rack up quickly, but we haven't paid to fly in about 20 years! Partner was Continental for years and then Delta now. That's our main perk with AMEX, we wouldn't think of not using it all the time. We have gotten some of these deals from time to time, but we love the frequent flyer miles!🥰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a regular AMEX Gold card and have been a member for 40 years now. Ugh! That's why we have 3, gold, clear and Delta. Got different benes with the different cards but I can't say cuz hubs takes care of all that. I just book the flights! And cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an AMEX gold card, and a BestBuy-branded Citibank Visa card, plus a few other store cards (Home Depot, Lowes and NTB). Everything besides my AMEX is used strictly for "xx months no interest" purchases. The only reason I chose the BestBuy as Visa card as opposed to a store-only card is because without at least one Visa or Mastercard issued by a major bank (Chase, Citi, BofA, CapOne, etc.) you take about a 50-point hit on your credit score. And I probably spend more money at BestBuy than any other store, except maybe Home Depot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicpersona Posted June 17, 2022 #64 Share Posted June 17, 2022 1 hour ago, exm said: Or prepay gratuities. Good suggestion, but already have paid for prepaids. I noticed in the terms and conditions, it specifically says "one or more transactions on cruise reservations" and says it does not apply to onboard purchases. I don't recall whether the previous Amex offer was that specific (I've done the $125 off $500 and $350 off $1500 before). Would certainly have felt better to have used for final payment, but perhaps there is still a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_lock Posted June 17, 2022 #65 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Norwegian for me... no Royal. I got the spend $1000 get $500 last year. Hopefully it shows up on my card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do a $500 charge with the expectation of using for gratuities and I have OBC leftover, can I get that back in cash? Use a different card for on board account. Then any left over will go back to another card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfabar1 Posted June 17, 2022 #67 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I have the Amex offer. Unsure whether to bite given the fact economy is on verge of collapse, but it would be nice to get next cruise on a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave ours up years ago, saw no value. Besides the platinum i have the other ones because they had good welcome bonuses and they’re only still open because they have no annual fee. i usually get the RCL offers but don’t have this one on any of my cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted June 20, 2022 #71 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I added a couple of authorized users thinking maybe I could stack the offer on their cards if it was there but after I added them I was reading one of those points bloggers and they said only 1 offer per card even if there are authorized users. He even said only one per person so if you applied for a different type of Amx card (ok maybe I did that too😇) it wouldn't be available. Oh well. I never did get a confirmation email when that charge hit my card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
