ute_fan Posted October 22, 2008 #977 Share Posted October 22, 2008 You're welcome. That is based at the standard 3% for all purchases. If any of your purchases include payments to NCL, the amount would be slightly less..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KINGBOBOFTHENORTH Posted October 23, 2008 #978 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The face of the card will be different. We will be part of the wonderful new and exciting (ha!) World Points program, where it will most likely take us 3 times as long to earn a free cruise, and they will tell us which cruises we can use our points on. I am searching for a different card.... Me too. I'm going to earn my last 500-point certificate and then be saying goodbye to my relationship with Bank of America. And sorry NCL, you're going to be losing most of my business as well.

alkotik Posted October 23, 2008 #979 Share Posted October 23, 2008 If I am sending my certificates directly to NCL, should I notify my TA that I am not going to make a final payment because my certificates will cover it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted October 23, 2008 #980 Share Posted October 23, 2008 IT's a good idea to let your TA know you've sent in certificates. I am glad to hear BoA is allowing points to be combined. They never did that in the past. Maybe they're trying to be "nice" to placate all of us who plan to bail after December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah; I would think, though, most people that want to combine points wouldn't have the 2500 point minimum need to transfer. So, it's really an empty offer IMO.

MagnoliaBlossom Posted October 24, 2008 #982 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I had missed the 2,500 point part. Had to go bac and re-read the post. Jeez, you're right - most folks won't have that amount. I'm maxing all mine out so by 1/1 I'll have 3,000 points and then it's adios amigo.

I've sent my certificates directly to NCL without notifying my online T/A and never had a problem doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsc500 Posted October 24, 2008 #984 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My latest statement will have 1106 points on it. I think I will cash in the $1000 and wave good bye to the 106 points and stop using the NCL card. :( Trying to spend over $13000 that I otherwise wouldn't spend in the next 70 days to get $500 (396 points) off my April 2009 cruise is giving me a headache. If I had a few more months I could but not now... Oh well, it was good while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin'Cousins Posted October 25, 2008 #985 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'll be the first to admit that you can't always trust the info you receive from phone representatives at places like BofA or NCL. So... for what it's worth, here is some new info for those of us with two or more NCL accounts at BofA who are interested in combining compass points when we have less than 2500 accumulated. During a third or fourth call to folks at BofA last week, I finally asked to speak to someone in authority about combining points on separate accounts. This was after BofA said it was NCL's decision to not allow for combining and NCL telling us that it was BofA's decision to not allow the combining. I was not able to speak to anyone, but the representative sent an email to a customer service area, (apparently with more authority, or something), asking for an answer to my question and to let them know that I didn't appreciate the fact that no one would accept responsibility. I was told to call back in a week and a response would be posted in the notes section of our account. Well, I called today. The rep today read the message to me that was posted to our account. In short, we were told that if we were willing to "consolidate" our accounts that they would be willing to combine the points on to one account. (Three $500s and two/three $100s is much better than two $500s and seven/eight $100s.) Since the program is ending, we really have no need for two accounts, so we will most likely take them up on the offer. The fact that the info is posted on the account and not just a "verbal promise", I have a bit more confidence that what we have been told is accurate. Of course, only time will tell. Hope this helps any of you who are in our situation. Happy Cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Wink* Posted October 26, 2008 #988 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Anyone know if u purchase gift cards for gifts does that give u points? Sure.. a lot of places such as Walmart take credit cards to buy gift cards. Some folks are buying grocery store gift cards now to use later in the year.

The "notes" section I was referring to is within the BOA system for employees to reference regarding customer's accounts, just as you questioned. Good luck!

1kycat Posted October 27, 2008 #994 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Forgive me if this has already been addressed...but I've been out of town for a few weeks. For the compass rewards that will be automatically sent out...do we have any clarification as to when they will be dated? I would like to use them in Jan/2010...but I'm guessing that they would have to be used in 2009? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1kycat Posted October 27, 2008 #996 Share Posted October 27, 2008 That's great! I guessed that I've missed a lot. My wife thinks that we HAVE to use our points next year. Now, the dilemma of whether to tell her or not. ;) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL is ending the Compass Reward program and as stated in the program terms and conditions, you will be issued a Compass Reward certificate(s) based on your December 31, 2008 point balance. Your final certificate(s) will arrive by mail on or before January 31, 2009. You will have one year from date of issue to apply the certificates to a booking, but you will be able to use them towards any NCL cruise before January 31, 2011. Compass Rewards points will not be transferred to the WorldPoints program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDreaming2 Posted October 27, 2008 #998 Share Posted October 27, 2008 If you thought about prepaying for either OBC or casino credit, if you don't use it, you lose it. But that's not saying you can't go to the casino and buy chips. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monicamn Posted October 27, 2008 #999 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hello. I don't think I can get to 500 points by 12/31. Does anyone know what good two or three $100 upgrade certs are? Can you use more than one for a booking? This is frustrating. Thanks for any advice. I don't have $7000 to put on gift certs to try to get to $500.

IrishKathy Posted October 28, 2008 #1000 Share Posted October 28, 2008 We have approximately 800 points on one of our NCL accounts. I called NCL yesterday and asked specifically what I would receive for the extra 300 points. I told them I knew I would receive a $500 certificate but wanted to know what EXACTLY I would receive in three $100 increments. I explained that we had reservations in August 2009 for an Alaskan cruise on the Pearl and were already booked into a suite so upgrade coupons are of no use whatsoever. He assured me (after checking with a supervisor) that I would receive three $100 certificates that I could use the same way we use the $500 one, e.g., $300 off the price. I have grave doubts about this but have any of you heard the same thing? Or, once again, can you call six times and get six different answers? Any knowledge would be appreciated. There is no way we will earn 200 more points before the end of the year and it would be great if we could take an extra $300 off the cruise price. Thanks.
