joetop2467 Posted January 16, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2023 We booked two Celebrity cruises yesterday. My husband got $350 back from $1000 on one using his American Express and I got $175 back from $500 charge on the other. Pretty sweet considering great price we got for both. Unfortunately, both were replacement trips for our 18 day land trip to Brazil, Argentina, and Peru which Gate 1 Travel canceled for January 26 due to political unrest in Peru. Looking forward to one week on the Reflection and one week on the Beyond in February. South America will have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaBag Posted January 16, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2023 We never get the offer for Celebrity. Guess it must be only for US people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marieps Posted January 16, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I'm glad this was reposted because the offer was there a few weeks ago then disappeared. Now it's back and I've added it to my Blue Sky card. Thanks to the OP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been meaning to try them, but 5X points certainly doesn't motivate me to do that. If I were booking an Oceania cruise, I'd use my Amex, but I'd probably use it anyway.

The Celebrity offer seemed much better, but not targeted to everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare countess5 Posted January 17, 2023 #20 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I have only seen a Celebrity offer once back in the day on my Platinum Card. I just paid off six cruises and got zero. However I did get the OBC and bottle of wine on each ship! Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, first of all, your math is off by multiple factors or you value Amex points at 0.2 cents per point which is crazy low. Second, the offer isn't intended to drive customers away from Celebrity towards Oceania. It's intended for someone who is booking Oceania to use this Amex card instead of some other.

It's a penny a point to me. If you want to stretch it to 1.3 cents, I'm okay with that. You can transfer points to JetBlue at 1.3 and they would give you $195 credit for the $15K spend. If I used my Costco Citi card, I would get 3% cash back or $450, so why would I use my Amex on this Oceania offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I used my Costco Citi card, I would get 3% cash back or $450, so why would I use my Amex on this Oceania offer? Your $15000 cruise example would net the max of 50,000 bonus MR points using this offer. That's on top of however many points your Amex card typically earns, lets say 15,000 points. That's 65,000 points which is between $650 (1 cent per point) and $845 (1.3 cents per point). If you're like me and have the offer on your primary and AU cards, you can split the payment between them and earn 75,000 bonus MR points instead of the max of 50k and again add the 15k base points. That would bring the total value of the points (80k points) earned up to between $800 and $1040. Either way, your original math is off by multiple factors and this far exceeds what you would earn using your Citi card.

I've been able to split deals such as this one between my 4 AU cards and then it adds up. My Amex also provides the best travel coverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you add one or more offers (whether you intend to use them or not) they will add more offers to the list to get you to 100. The last time I heard the 350 off 500 was out there, it wasn't in my list. I kept adding offers to my card until it appeared.
