packercruising Posted March 17, 2008 #301 Share Posted March 17, 2008 If you read the first page or two of this thread you will get a good summary of the benefits of having a Latitudes Mastercard. In essence you earn points depending on your spending. These points turn into cash off certificates for NCL cruises. I've had a card (or 2) since 1996 and have saved over $25' date='000 on NCL cruises. PE[/quote'] After asking the question I checked the website. We have been on 4 NCL cruises and never knew this was available!:o The RCI cruise was probably a one time deal. Thanks!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlissa Posted March 17, 2008 #304 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Do you have to be a latitude member to apply for the NCL MasterCard? I see it asks for the latitude number on the application. I was hoping my parents, who have never cruised with NCL could apply and get the NCL MasterCard. Does anyone know? Thanks Wayne Hummm, that must be a new field in the application, haven't noticed it before. It doesn't look like it is "required" and I would imagine lots of people have applied for the card and don't have a lattitudes number. Pretty sure that neither of our two accounts are tied/linked to our lattitudes numbers. I'd have your parents apply immediately, they need to start collecting those points. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packercruising Posted March 17, 2008 #305 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Maybe Lattitude members get special offers. I haven't applied yet but am sure it isn't a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted March 17, 2008 #306 Share Posted March 17, 2008 No, you don't have to be a Latitudes member to apply. This is a new question and my guess is that is simply demographics. This would allow them to know which M/C customers have cruised multiple times, longer cruises, etc. so they can aim special offers toward them. Just a guess.

CruisinFromCT Posted March 18, 2008 #307 Share Posted March 18, 2008 All, I have never redeemed a gift card, but was wondering do you go with the express option for security purposes? Has anyone ever had any issues with getting their certificate via regular mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkad1109 Posted March 19, 2008 #310 Share Posted March 19, 2008 All, I have never redeemed a gift card, but was wondering do you go with the express option for security purposes? Has anyone ever had any issues with getting their certificate via regular mail? express mail cost me $35 PER CERTIFICATE!!!! they could not even figure out how to put the four of them in the same envelope and mail them together so I wound up paying $140 for my poor planning.... OUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted March 20, 2008 #311 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Only used express once when we did a spur of the moment cruise. They told me at the time the fee was $35 per - too bad they didn't pass that on to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerfan616 Posted March 23, 2008 #312 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Do you earn points if your transfer a balance from another credit card to the NCL card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted March 23, 2008 #313 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Do you earn points if your transfer a balance from another credit card to the NCL card? generally no that is handled as a cash advance not as a purchase. Only purchases get points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x2tpd Posted March 23, 2008 #314 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Just want some opinions- Am I better doing A or B A - Mailing a 500 $$ certificate to NCL on a reservation that is paid in full for a sailing in July. I have paid $800 of reservation in cash so there is money to credit me back. B - Mailing the 500 $$ certificate to NCL on a reservation that is not paid in full for a sailing in July in our teenage daughters name that I would have to add her as a signer on the card for. Which is less of a problem, quicker to see the refund for etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana68 Posted March 23, 2008 #315 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I would do option A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted March 23, 2008 #316 Share Posted March 23, 2008 It's pretty much equal. When you submit your certificate for a credit back to your card it is going to take 4 - 8 weeks so by then you'll be about due to make final payment on your dtr's reservation. However, some people have reported a problem with certificates in new user's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFT_LOVER Posted March 24, 2008 #318 Share Posted March 24, 2008 as I just went on NCL site & clicked on Mastercard & the application and saw no area for Latitudes #. Didn't remember being asked for it since we were given our numbers by our TA after I had the card to put the depsoit on for the 2 cruises we booked with her. Hummm, that must be a new field in the application, haven't noticed it before. It doesn't look like it is "required" and I would imagine lots of people have applied for the card and don't have a lattitudes number.
