ItsAllAboutTheSass Posted April 12, 2017 #126 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Did anyone ever try to buy a gift card from the carnival site after adding the offer. I bet it would work. I don't think it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotericisis Posted April 12, 2017 #127 Share Posted April 12, 2017 THIS is why I love this group. I add whatever deals are offered to my card on the first of the month, I already had this deal listed, but I never truly read it (I'm an idiot, I know!). Well, we owed $1020 which was due at the end of June so I wasn't really paying attention to it. My DH and I both have Amex's (not jointly). I just paid $500 and texted him to pay the balance with his card AFTER he activated this deal. We'll save $200 on this cruise!! I am editing this to say that AMEX immediately emailed me: We appreciate you using your Amex Offer at CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE RSVR. Look out for a $100.00 statement credit, which will automatically be applied to your statement if your purchase meets the offer terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrmkr Posted April 13, 2017 #128 Share Posted April 13, 2017 First off thank you to everyone that brought this offer to my attention. I was able to get a 2nd card in my name and use the offer 2 times and once more with my wife's card. With all of these savings, i was able to purchase the Cheers package for dirt cheap!!! One big thing to keep in mind when you add the 2nd card. When you register the card and create an online account, you must make sure that you do no link it in any way to your original card. it must be a completely separate online account. I must have put it under my original card and the offer would not show for the 2nd card. I had to go in circles with American Express telling them that it ca be done. I finally suggested for them to break the link online between the cards. Once I created a brand new online account for the 2nd card, the offer immediately showed. Probably too late to get a 2nd card and use the offer since it expires tomorrow. Make sure you add the offer to your card and make the $500 payment by tomorrow to get the $100 back. Gotta love getting free money back for doing basically nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor_Poke Posted April 14, 2017 #129 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Scored a second $100 credit today using DW's AMEX. I love it. Now if I can get some discounted gift cards. They don't seem to be coming around as regularly as last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amypete Posted April 14, 2017 #130 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I don't think it will. I did that and it didn't work. When I had my TA pay down $500 it did work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinJerseyMom Posted April 16, 2017 #131 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. I paid my balance on Tuesday and had my $100 credit on Thursday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxyB Posted April 16, 2017 #132 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Anyone know is there is a new offer, since the old one expired? I did not have the original offer available until I added it via the link provided here and was able to use it. Final payment for me is tomorrow so I would love to save another $100! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final payment for me is tomorrow so I would love to save another $100! :D I do not see any new offers on either of our Amex cards for cruise line statement credits. I'm going to "guess" that Amex will put out a new offer sometime in the next month or two but that it won't be for a Carnival Corp. brand but rather another line like maybe Royal, Celebrity, NCL, Crystal, etc. Just my guess based on what I've seen them do in terms of cruise line offers in the past. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bUU Posted April 16, 2017 #135 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm now especially on the lookout for discounted Carnival and Holland America travel gift cards from Verizon rewards. I heard about that one just a day after they had sold out. You can theoretically buy as many as you'd like... they were going at a rate of $500 gift cards for $450 I think... I don't remember but it was a really good deal. This message may have been entered using voice recognition. Please excuse any typos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrmkr Posted April 16, 2017 #136 Share Posted April 16, 2017 The Amex offer was not specifically for Carnival. It was called "World Leading Cruise Line". It had several different cruise lines that the offer was good for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted April 16, 2017 #137 Share Posted April 16, 2017 But all of those cruise lines were owned by CCL. I used it for a Carnival cruise and a Holland America cruise and I believe it was also valid on Princess and maybe even Seabourn and Cunard.

This message may have been entered using voice recognition. Please excuse any typos. Correct. That's kind of why I was speculating that Amex's next cruise line statement credit offer won't be on a Carnival Corp brand line since they covered them all with this last offer. Now watch - they will totally cross me up and the next offer they release will be HAL or Princess or Costa! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzn buckeye Posted July 4, 2017 #139 Share Posted July 4, 2017 confused... so... after reading post after post after post... i am not sure if i have the answer i am looking for... I have my deposit down on my cruise which I booked about a month and a half ago... i had this kind of offer previously but it had run out before i booked.... my deposit was under 500.00 And my balance is under 500. the cruise itself is over 600. So if I pay my balance, on a cruise previously booked before the book in between dates, and my total paid is over 500, will i get the credit? Or isit too late for me??:confused: hope i didn't confuse anyone else... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound like you are out of luck unless you can still add it to your card and possibly charge at least $500 by adding other charges such as prepaid OBC or excursions.

So let's say your balance is $400 and your deposit was $200. Have them charge $500 and credit back $100 to your previous form of payment. Hope this makes sense.

I saw it this AM when I was checking my account and added it again for all 4 of our cards and just made a pymt for $500 on a balance we have coming due. It takes about 3 days for the $100 stmt credit to appear. You can use it on a pre-existing booking but each payment has to be $500 or more to get the $100 credit back. And, you have to add the offer to your card. And, you can redeem the offer 1x for EACH AmEx card you have. Hope this answers your question!

auscgguysgirl Posted July 5, 2017 #146 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Do you have a new link? It's not on mine. I went to "offers" at the bottom ... clicked "see all" and then specified it to "travel". I have AmEx Blue. I know that it did not show up in my offers the last go round and I had to do online chat to get them added for each of our cards. However, I believe this is the link you are referring to: http://www.worldsleadingcruiselines.com/amex.html Get a $100 statement credit after you use your enrolled American Express® Card to spend $500 or more booking a cruise with Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Cunard or Seabourn between July 5, 2017, and December 31, 2017.

Now that you mention it, I think the last time this offer was out and people did not have it on their cards, they called or chatted with Amex CR's and somehow got that americanexpress.com link from the rep and passed it along here.

Told him my cards are already synced and I have 49 other offers none of which I received invitations for. I'm going to have to end up calling later. Anyone have another link that works? PLEASE!!!!

auscgguysgirl Posted July 7, 2017 #150 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Note they have made a change to the "terms" this go round: *Card Members with more than 1 eligible Card associated with their online account will only have the option to add the offer to 1 of the Cards. So ... you can ONLY USE IT 1X PER ACCOUNT. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
