chamima Posted September 19, 2016 #126 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I don't understand this. Aren't the Travel Offers just a subset of All Offers? Mine don't seem to be anything different, right now I have 3-4 Travel Offers that are also listed under the 60+ list of all offers. Yes - I think perhaps the Celebrity offer just got overlooked in that long list and was more noticeable in the smaller "travel" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor G Posted September 19, 2016 #127 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I think it really is dependent on the purchase date, not the posting date. I have never had an Amex offer take more than 5 days for the credit to appear on my account, so no need to wait 2 weeks. I would not expect to see the credit for a charge made PRIOR to loading the offer to your card. Mike It is interesting that some folks have already received the credit. In the Terms of the offer I received it said that the credit would be issued after October 31 which is when the offer ends. I, too, have a Platinum AX and got the offer. Seems totally without rhyme or reason as to who gets the offer. Also, when I called AX directly I talked to 3 people, none of whom knew about the offer. Finally they managed to find it after I read the offer and the terms to them. Today I used the offer to pay on a cruise I have booked for next year. So, I'll see what happens with the credit.

BigB0882 Posted September 20, 2016 #128 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Unfortunately this is not listed under my travel offers. Too bad. Maybe it will show up later but I doubt it. Not sure why it is there for some and not for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Flame Posted September 20, 2016 #129 Share Posted September 20, 2016 My $150 credit showed up one day following the $500 charge. The charge is listed at "Celebrity Cruises Miami FL" and the credit says "Celebrity Miramar." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldweathergirl Posted September 20, 2016 #130 Share Posted September 20, 2016 When I log onto my amex account, I don't see offers anywhere. Am I missing something, doing something wrong or is this just not there for Canadians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not expect to see the credit for a charge made PRIOR to loading the offer to your card. Mike I think you're right, but I think it is more that the offer be applied before the charge is made. I made the purchase around 11 am on 9/15 and added the offer around 2pm the same day. I was just curious if it would connect since the payment was made on the same day, just literally hours before. Interestingly, nowhere in the terms and conditions does it say you have to apply the offer first, or that past purchases (within the promo period) are excluded. I can't believe I missed this by a couple of hours.... well, I didn't really "miss" it - easy enough to put another $500 down now.

Am I missing something, doing something wrong or is this just not there for Canadians. Credit cards issued in other countries have differing terms and conditions, different benefits too from country to country. Even if they have the same name. So it might be that Canadians don't get the offers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acctgtogo Posted September 20, 2016 #137 Share Posted September 20, 2016 About a year or so ago others were talking about this same offer. We didn't get the offer on our cards then and we didn't get it (so far) this time either. But I'll keep looking - maybe someday we will be the ones to get the offer!

macaroni Posted September 20, 2016 #138 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I got it and my friend didn't...she called Amex and they said they were contacting marketing and to check back in 7-10 days??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinsbur Posted September 20, 2016 #139 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Worked for me. Made the payment and the credit appeared the day after the payment posted on my gold card. I did not see the offer on my blue card. I can always use extra cash!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted September 20, 2016 #140 Share Posted September 20, 2016 About a year or so ago others were talking about this same offer. We didn't get the offer on our cards then and we didn't get it (so far) this time either. But I'll keep looking - maybe someday we will be the ones to get the offer! Might I suggest calling Amex and asking them to begin adding these offers to your account? I know some cards just don't give these offers ... but I have been successful in getting not only one of these offers added but then, ever since I told them I definitely cruise a lot, they have added these cruise offers to my benefits. It is certainly worth a try, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenSeas1492 Posted September 20, 2016 #141 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Just got the credit after using my Amex with Choice Air. Made our flight reservations Sunday and got the credit this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bocker3 Posted September 20, 2016 #143 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Got the credit this morning on $500 in shore excursions and specialty dining. As I suspected -- this may be "intended" for reservations only, but like most offers I've used with Amex over the years, it's really simply tied to the merchant. So..... pretty much anything from Celebrity will get this credit. The T&C's were pretty clear on no gift cards -- I'd bet even those would work, though, I'd probably not try it myself here. Of course, I generally buy gift cards for any restaurant offers I have on my card (if I want to go to said restaurant) and have always received my statement credit. I've received over $1,000 in free money from AMEX so far this year. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So..... pretty much anything from Celebrity will get this credit. I've had the same experience. As long as the charge goes through from the merchant, I've received the Amex credit no matter what it was that I purchased. Also, once the email comes saying from Amex saying you redeemed the offer, it always has been reflected on my next statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonedaddy Posted September 20, 2016 #146 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Slightly annoyed. I checked my AMEX offers on Monday before making final payment and there was no Celebrity offer on my Platinium card. I just missed it. My final was due 9/14 and the offer began 9/15. Oh well....... you can use it to book a shore ex or anything prepaid on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stem to Stern Posted September 20, 2016 #147 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I got it and my friend didn't...she called Amex and they said they were contacting marketing and to check back in 7-10 days??? Let us know if she gets the offer added. No offer here yet, but going to give Amex a call as well. It's worth a try.

Charles4515 Posted September 20, 2016 #148 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) you can use it to book a shore ex or anything prepaid on their site. There are no shore excursions I want to book. I don't do cruise line shore excursions usually and there are none I want to do on the Western Caribbean itinerary. Also I have $350 in onboard credit and the drink package included. It will be hard enough to use all that up as it is. Last June I had $150 not used so I bought an Apple TV for $149 at the iLounge.
