Rare Tapi Posted January 14, 2014 #26 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I received the postcard in the mail too. It's legit. I asked my PVP. Unfortunately, none of the deals work for me. :( Poor distribution of marketing material when they send a "one time Platinum upgrade" to someone who is already Platinum :rolleyes:. I can see how some people will be tempted by this offer though. Although I understand that Carnival is redirecting its marketing towards newer cruisers, it's still a shame that Platinum has lost its luster. First the perks reduction, then FTTF. Now this "exclusive offer". As time goes by, I realize more and more that I'm no longer Carnival's target audience. The incentives are definitely geared to someone else. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fam2cruise Posted January 14, 2014 #27 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My understanding is that once Gold you remain Gold. You don't drop back to Red. (sorry for the Hijack) I went from gold to red when they changed the points system but now back to gold. I didn't really care though since there really are no perks at these levels. I guess I only missed out on the Past Guest party but wouldn't have attended anyways. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare marshalltp Posted January 14, 2014 #28 Share Posted January 14, 2014 They're going to jump you from Red to Platinum? Is the offer genuine? :confused: . The offer is for that 1 cruise only.....sort of a Platinum 'tryout' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinPrincessMermaids Posted January 14, 2014 #29 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I think you should dig it out of the trash and book the Dream.:D Bill :D:D Oh boy, that was a good laugh, Bill! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted January 14, 2014 #30 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My understanding is that once Gold you remain Gold. You don't drop back to Red. (sorry for the Hijack) Yes you do. My mom is now red and has been for her last 2 sailings. She needs 2 more days to become gold again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky2 Posted January 14, 2014 #33 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My understanding is that once Gold you remain Gold. You don't drop back to Red. (sorry for the Hijack) mapsmith, you must have been off of CC for awhile as this all was hashed over a couple of years ago when they changed loyalty "classes" from # of cruises to # of days. There were lots of people upset because they were "demoted" and no longer could attend the Gold/Platinum/Diamond party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstcruise92 Posted January 19, 2014 #34 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I also received the postcard. I am hoping I can do the platinum for the cruise we already booked just prior to receiving the postcard. I would have been platinum under the old system.
