Am Ex Plat Benefits

Ok, have just recieved rules from AM EX--only Plat with the $395 fee applies--NO OTHER CARDS APPLY--Congrats to those that slipped in--Now they have a disclaimer(that I am holding) faxed to TA that they have to sign and send back!!

I just signed up on web as I need the 2 for 1

Business class for a Nov trip!

Frank, what disclaimer did your TA have to sign? You didn't mention it.

It is a 2 page rules and regulations with everything that is NOT covered --which cards etc.---if they turn in and AM EX issues in error -they would be resposible!!

We have used Am Ex Platinum for a long time. And our TA has never had to sign any kind of disclaimer.

this must have just started because of the confusion of which cards apply---but I have a copy here at my office---wish it was different as I paid with Delta Plat--I just applied for the regular Platium as I will make $$$ on the shipboard credits!!

Ditto here......

Been getting HAL (and other cruiseline) shipboard credits through AmEx Platinum Agreements for many, many years. TA never signed anything like that.

On my upcoming cruise, HAL refused to combine my Shareholder OBC with my Platinum AmX perk. I was not happy! I felt as if I pay dearly for both and one reason I have both is for the OBC perks....and then I could only use one on the 14 night cruise!

It is only the plain, Am Ex platinum card which is not joined with Costco, Delta or any other entitty. OnLY the Am Ex Platinum that carries the very high annual member ship fee.

We have always been able to combine our AMEX Platinum shipboard credit with our CCL shipboard credit.

Did you get your AMEX Platinum card through American Express? If you got it from anywhere else, HAL will not except it.

Which platinum card do you have?

So do you have to book through Amex travel to get the platinum travel benefit? What is the amex platinum benefit. I am booked for February through our PCC and have paid everything so far with our Am Ex platinum (final payment still due)

You can use a TA who pays an annual sum t o Am EX for All their platinum clients, not each indiividually and if it is the high end Am Ex Platinum card not joined with any other entity, you will get the HAL benefits. The sum they pay is not huge.

Thanks sail. I booked through PCC so I guess that won't work unless I transfer the reservation to Amex Travel or another travel agent. I like having the PCC who is able to upgrade cabins and quick upsells.

We booked great many HAL cruises with PCC and always got the oBC. The a greement is BETWEEN hal and AM EX Platinum so of course, HAL PCC qualify.

Using a HAL PCC was never an obstacle to our getting the OBC
