Rare POA1 Posted October 13, 2015 #76 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yes, I've done that, once or twice a day, and yes I've contacted CS to see if they would add it. I was told "you are not eligible for unsolicited offers". If you read through the thread you'll noticed I posted I'm quite familiar with the Amex offers and use them anytime something good we can use comes up. Thanks for trying to help though. ;) I've got a couple of Celebrity cruises coming up that I could take advantage of this if it was available, oh well. I did, in fact, read through the thread. I apologize for missing your particular saga. I'll not respond to you going forward. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

two_n_six Posted October 13, 2015 #78 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Not available for my Platinum cashback card but so glad I looked as I just realised I need to spend another £98 before December on my card to hit my annual spend to qualify for my accrued cashback. Thanks to the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted October 13, 2015 #79 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I went to the more offers area of my Delta AE and there it was. I made a partial payment Sunday and within the hour I had an email from AE saying I used the Celebrity offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL-WI Posted October 13, 2015 #81 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Follow up. I made my payment last week Thursday and had a $125.00 credit on my AMEX yesterday morning... BILL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted October 13, 2015 #82 Share Posted October 13, 2015 If you scroll dwon to the bottom of your AE page after logging in, you will see a few offers. Go across until those 4-6 offers end and you will see a get more offers box or some wording like that. I clicked that and more appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldeya Posted October 13, 2015 #83 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does it work only if you didn't pay final payment for the cruise? We have an offer but we already paid in full (cruise in November). Any ideas how to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol gable Posted October 13, 2015 #84 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does anyone know if this works on CitiBank Amex Advantage Card? Logged into citibank acct. and do not see. And, because it is a citibank card - cannot log in on American Express site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted October 13, 2015 #85 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Do you need to buy anything on board? Internet minutes, shore excursions, dining, beverage package, Spa. Those are about the only other items I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirlejfan Posted October 13, 2015 #86 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I have the offer attached to my AMEX Gold Premier Rewards Card. It is not being offered with my JetBlue AMEX credit card. I called my TA to have them put 500$ of our final payment for our January cruise on the Reflection tomorrow. Very happy to have seen the posting for this on CC and FB!

Any ideas how to use it? Yes, I'd call your TA or Celebrity if you booked through them and buy yourself $500 of OBC, if you'll use that much. I'm pretty sure you only need to charge $500 to Celebrity, then the $125 credit will go back to your card, not as an OBC. This is the way other Amex offers work.

LadyLion_AP Posted October 13, 2015 #89 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does anyone know if I can pre-purchase shore excursions (easy to spend over $500 with a family of four) and/or other goods & still get the credit? I added the offer to my card last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan Posted October 14, 2015 #90 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I was making final payment for a cruise today and was disappointed that offer did not appear on my Gold or Plat cards. I called AMEX and they said that they were sending out this offer in "bunches" ie. I would receive it in several months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisoxfan Posted October 15, 2015 #92 Share Posted October 15, 2015 That sounds like a good reason to book another cruise!!!! BILL Yes, agreed. If AMEX was reporting correctly and my offer shows up this year I may also be able to by 500 OBC using the offer and receiving refund of non used portion which would be a great deal also.

jasmith52 Posted October 15, 2015 #93 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) DetailsGet a one-time $125 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend a total of $500 or more to purchase a Celebrity Cruise at celebritycruises.com between 10/5/15 and 11/5/15. See terms for exclusions. Note that you have to use the (full-fare) Celebrity.com website to get the offer. You could probably get this discount or more using any number of (reputable) discount websites. In my opinion, there's not much there - there.

There is no need to do this through the Celebrity website. I had my TA put through a pre-payment on an existing reservation, and I got the credit from Amex with no problems. So there is definitely a "there" there -- this offer is on top of whatever bennies you get from your TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday we booked a cruise and deposited ($500) with a Travel Agent. Within a couple of hours of paying the deposit, we had an email from AMEX acknowledging the purchase and confirming the $125 statement credit would appear on our account.

If you are suggesting that their description is consistent, I still disagree. Celebrity.com is not the same as Celebrity cruises and therein lies the confusion. The part of the "terms" offer that reads "at celebritycruises.com" may suggest that other venues (ie. not celebrity.com) wouldn't be available for the offer. Evidently though this is not the case and my interpretation is full of beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to make sure people know they can book through a Travel Agent and still qualify for the promotion. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
