Brought Back: Amex Offer: Spend $500 on Booking, Get $100 Credit

[rj42]

Another way to get 10% back on cruises is to book on Expedia through Ebates. It doesn't always credit properly (I found out that using a browser with ad-blocking messes up the process), but it makes a nice surprise when I get cash back after a cruise. It also pays 4% back on hotels, which with the 3% cash back on my Uber Visa, gives a nice bonus on pre-cruise lodging as well.

I wonder if I would be able to call the TA and just pay 500$ of the final payment that's due in march with my AMEX...

I wish other credit cards would do the same.

Yes. I did that this summer. I made a partial $500 payment and got the AMEX $100 right then. Then paid off the balance when the final was due.

Yep. Just checked and it is gone from my card. Check every week or two before your final. It may come back. It has ended and been brought back a few times.

will do I appreciate you checking

The offer is back, valid thru 5/31/18. It would have been handy if this thread had been reused since it has useful info, but a new one was created:
