auscgguysgirl Posted February 14, 2018 #276 Share Posted February 14, 2018 You must have the wrong Amex card, I get about $1000 cashback a year with my preferred card. I pay everything possible with the card and pay the balance every month. Same here! I more than doubled that. Gas and groceries alone w/ the 5% cash back! $800 every 6 mos alone last year just in $100 cruise credits = $1600! Never carry a balance ... never pay interest. I love my AmEx card! Is this only valid for new bookings? I booked a cruise for 2019 last year, only put down the deposit thus far and would pay the rest with Amex. Yes, it's payments too ... as long as you add the offer ... and the payment is $500 or more w/ the card ... redeemable 1x for each card. I seriously hope they offer it again at the end of the year ... I've got 3 more cruise balances to pay for. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will use it. I have 8 cards and I will max out the $100 credit on each card (used 3 already). That will cover the balance of my Hawaii cruise and 1 toward my girls cruise. But still have balances on my Girls Cruise 04/2019 ... NE&Canada 09/2019 ... Panama Canal 02/2020. That's why I need them to roll it out again! ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay everything possible with the card and pay the balance every month Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Forums mobile app I looked at that card, and I couldn't justify the fee. The 6% at grocery store is surely nice, but I don't shop at grocery stores very often. I do most of my shopping at Walmart, which doesn't count. I bounce between a few cards. My "everyday" card is 2% cash back. Right now, I'm getting 5% cash back on mobile payments through chase freedom. Then with all of my dining and travel, I get 4.5% with Chase Sapphire Reserve. That pretty much covers most of my spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pretty much covers most of my spending. I have AmEx Blue ... I think the fee is $99 a year ... I bank way more than that each year to cover that fee. In fact, usually $50 mo in cash back in gas alone w/ that card. AmEx has offered MANY other perks that I LOVE by way of rewards. Last year they also offered 10% cash back on any major cable company payments ... 10% cash back on any major cell phone provider payments (I used that on each card for 6 mos too). The grocery part works for us b/c we use Kroger which is down the street ... I HATE Walmart. Right now they are offering 10% cash back on any Starbucks purchases. Reward cards are all in how you use them to get the best benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summersigh Posted February 15, 2018 #285 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We made final payment yesterday and it's posted on AMEX this way ..... CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES RESERVATION - MIAMI, FL so it should qualify for the $100 credit. I'll check back to see in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebbieMo Posted February 20, 2018 #289 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It's the same link for both times. If it let you click through and add it to your card, you're good to go. Did you check and see if it was added to your offers? I just used it on all 4 of my cards within the past week. You will also get an email congratulating you on redeeming an offer. Not sure if you will even see this and I’ll ask “our” PVP but were you able to use this booking through your PVP at his # and extension? The offer says you book through Carnival.com or a specific # but I have a different # for him. For anyone else reading, we’re you able to redeem this offer booking through your PVP or travel agent?

Yes, as long as the charge comes through to Amex as Carnival Cruise Reservations (or something very similar). If your TA is one of those whom you pay and who then in turn pays the cruise line, the charge likely will not be recognized by Amex. With a PVP, the charge should come through to Amex accordingly (Carnival Cruise Reservations) and be accepted for the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisco Posted February 21, 2018 #296 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Anyone have luck getting AMX to add the offer to their card if not there? Mine not there on Delta AMX and as stated, the link does not work this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summersigh Posted February 21, 2018 #297 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Got my $100 credit :D Regular amex Gold Card. We'd booked the cruise prior to the offer but paid the balance after the offer was added to the card. The listing from CCL had the word Reservation in to.

Mine not there on Delta AMX and as stated, the link does not work this time. I called AMEX twice and did an online chat and they indicated they could not add it to my card, it has to be one of the offers already shown. They looked and didn't see it on my Hilton Honors AMEX card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardn198 Posted February 21, 2018 #299 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It was not added to my card 2 weeks ago when this post got refreshed, however I just saw it last night and booked my next cruise on the Horizon Feb 23, 2019! Got my $100 credit :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethann2103 Posted February 22, 2018 #300 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Just got off the phone with Amex and the woman told me the offer expired in December. I explained that it was a new promotion and visible on the WLCL website but she didn't have any further explanation other than it was expired and she didn't show a new one. So frustrating!!! I looked on our offers and it is not visible as an offer for our card... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
