What can I do with 30,000 RCL Credit Card Points I don't Want?

[LogansDad]

Hi Folks -

 

I used to cruise RCL but for reasons I won't go into we don't cruise anymore. I still have over 30,000 points on my RCCL Credit Card and they'll start expiring soon. Does anyone know if there is anything useful I can do with the points? Obviously, I'd like to sell or transfer them... but if I read something correctly that's not allowed (???) What else can I do with them if I can't cash them in somehow?

Not sure but can't you gets robes or polo shirts? I wonder if you can donate them to charities like you can with airline miles.

If you feel charitable ( and that would be tax deductible) then you can donate.....

 

1000 points - $10 USD value donation to one of our partnering charitable organizations for Haitian Relief (multiple donations may be requested if earned)

 

This is off the RCI website under RCI Visa Card

I think you can donate them to Haiti.

You can be super generous and donate it to the Haitian relief or have your choice of RCCL merchandise delivered to your home

Donation to Haiti or merchandise.

You've had them since 2006?:confused:

[cruzsnooze]

Sell them. I have bought them in the past and the buyer and seller were both happy.:D EBAY may be a good venue for you.

Try calling the credit card department, I was asked last month if I would rather have some other reward so maybe they would change your points for something else.

If you have family or friends who still cruise with RCCL, you can give them OBC. I'm pretty sure the certificates allow you to identify the name of the person receiving credit (if different) as well as a reservation number.

Points begin to expire after 5 years. So, If the OP started earning points card in July of 2006, the points would begin to expire in July of 2011.

As suggested - donate them to the Haitian releif fund.

 

Otherwise, what does it matter? They didn't cost you anything, you didn't have to pay a fee for them to accumulate so let them expire.

Not sure of the provisions of your card, but we cashed in Celebrity American Express for cash instead of OBC. They simply sent a check. You might try calling Crown and Anchor and seeing what they say.

 

Happy Sails to You

 

OOOEEE :D:D Bob and Phyl

Oops, I didn't think they ever expired. I better go check mine out before I lose some.

If I were you I would donate them to Hand and Hand,It is a charity that take children on trips and have a wish .Alot of the children have cancer and other sickness and It sure does help take their mind off of what they are going thru.They take them to Disney,cruises,amusment parks.Also tax deductable.

Thanks for all the great suggestions!

 

I do a lot of donating elsewhere but I suppose I might go that route (could use the tax deductions.) Rather try an get a little cash for my upcoming (land) trip to Russia. (Adopting a little girl).
