ZoeyVictoria Posted July 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2018 It seems like it has been a long time since there was a new Amex offer. It is possible that I used it as soon as it appeared last time, so it just seems like a long time to me. Does anyone know when the last offer was, and what the customary amount of time is between offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted July 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I've never actually seen one for Royal. I currently have one for Carnival and I see the ones for the Worlds Greatest Cruiseline all the time. Even saw NCL once..but never Royal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted July 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Here's the thread from 2017 about them. Guess that must be the last time it was offered https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2355132&highlight=amex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted July 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I keep checking both of my cards and haven't seen any in a long time. I'm sure if they are offered again someone will be posting on CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grab007 Posted July 28, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2018 They have reinstated a $200 OBC when paying with a Platinum card. RCI had not allowed that for 2 or 3 years but now its back. Used it for Freedom sailing in Sept.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen any for RCCL in a long time, however Got 4 for CCL in the last year, about every 3 months. Three of them were for 100.00 off each when spending 500.00 or more and the last one was for 7,500 bonus points when spending 350.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used it for Freedom sailing in Sept.:) Did you have to call RCI to get this OBC? Wondering if it's too late for us to get this since we've already made our final payment with our platinum card for our cruise in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grab007 Posted July 29, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Booked ours thru our TA and she got it. You can try RCI. Good luck and enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2tcdx2 Posted July 30, 2018 #15 Share Posted July 30, 2018 We just did one for Carnival, and then previously had one for MSC. I feel like I saw Royal a while back, but I didn't have anything booked so it wasn't an offer I could take advantage of. Though it could have been back in 2017.

Used it for Freedom sailing in Sept.:) We have a Amex Platinum Delta branded card. Was the platinum card you had branded like that? I have 4000 to pay off in a month. OR is this a Travel Agent that works with Amex to get that obc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR is this a Travel Agent that works with Amex to get that obc? No, this is a perk of the American Express Platinum Charge Card (e.g. the premium card with the $550 annual fee) and doesn't apply to any of the co-branded "Platinum" Credit Cards (Delta, Hilton, SPG, etc). https://www.americanexpresscruise.com/cruises/promos/amex/shopping/cruise_privileges_program.jsp?cobrand=15558&webpagerecno=2357 Interesting that people were able to get that OBC booking through their own TAs, I asked last time I cruised booked through my outside TA and was told that I would have had to book through AmEx's TA to get the AmEx OBC.
