Rare CTCruisers Posted April 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2011 We have a NCL cruise booked for October and we have over 100,000 world points available on our card. When can we redeem the points against this cruise? How do I do that? We were not sure of the process and if we had to wait until final payment is due. Any advice would be appreciated.

Got Tequila? Posted April 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2011 We have a NCL cruise booked for October and we have over 100,000 world points available on our card. When can we redeem the points against this cruise? How do I do that? We were not sure of the process and if we had to wait until final payment is due. Any advice would be appreciated. My personal advice would be to redeem the points for cash, once over the 25,000 points mark you can get the same amount in cash as you can for an OBC. Then you can earn points for your shipboard account being charged to the credit card, and pay it off with the $$$ they've sent you. Log into the BOA site and access your account information, click rewards....then cash. Checks typically arrive in about 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkad1109 Posted April 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2011 You can also call them if you dont want to do it online...I used 60000 for on board credit for my last cruise and it was literally put on my account while I was on the phone! Called the next day to verify and again when we got to the boat...absolutely flawless!! I am up to 42000 already and the cruise isnt until next year!! Probably the only thing I love about college tuition is the fact that I can put it on my NCL card!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for us, my son's college just eliminated the choice of using a credit card for tuition/room/board. It was good while it lasted, though!!

Rare CTCruisers Posted April 24, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thanks for the info. I went to the website and chose the cash option. We should get our checks for $1,000 in about two weeks. We will pay off our cruise with the charge card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saleandsail Posted April 25, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2011 You can also link the card with your checking account and have it electronicly transferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggie711 Posted February 9, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You can also link the card with your checking account and have it electronicly transferred. Anybody know if it's still done this way? If my CC and checkin account are with the same bank, will they/can they just transfer the cash to my checking account? And if so, how fast?

Rare Clay Clayton Posted February 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Presuming you aren't a "suite" person you could also use 60k of your points for a double cross-meta upgrade which allows you to pay for one category and cruise in one two categories higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you only get credit for the inside (no promo) or the balcony upgrade (with promo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted February 10, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You guys an inside you get the promos that come with the inside. :mad: But depending on the price difference (it was a total of $2,200 for us) you can afford to either buy the ultimate packages outright or pay as you go depending on your personal desires and STILL be way ahead financially.

terri910 Posted April 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 11, 2017 We have always declined various credit cards offered to us....but now we wish we'd accepted NCL's MC a couple of years ago! I think we will accept it, now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofhs93 Posted April 12, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 12, 2017 If you use the card enough to get to 60k points, then the 2 cat cross meta is absolutely the best value/"most bang for the buck" when it comes to using the points. There's an entire thread here regarding the card and the best way to use points ect... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=588120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a card and I looked at the link you recommended but I still didn't understand how I should use my points for the best value? I was going to do on board credit but now I am thinking getting the check from the credit card when I redeem my points is best and then use my credit card to pay any on board spending like tips etc because I then get points again on my card. Thanks for all your help! I am a first time cruiser on NCL so thanks for your patience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyc2dream Posted June 19, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I called in to receive my OBC and got the confirmation email. But the credit does not show up on MyNCL summary page. Does anyone know if this is typical? Thank you! Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zounds Posted June 19, 2019 #17 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I redeemed 10,000 points for OBC this week by calling 866-9544077 and was told it was OK to redeem up until the day before you sail. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
