Does this add up?

Here’s what Blue Chip has told us regarding why my husband has not received any offers at Amynethist. Since we booked with a travel agent within the last 24 months he cannot recieve promotional offers! We were told we could book through a TA and call Blue Chip to have them adjust the price after booking (did that on a previous sailing). However, they did tell us that we can email Blue Chip and state that we want to forfeit our right to book with a TA and they may consider putting us on the offer list. While we are not loyal to one TA or site, I don’t think we will do this.

 

What is the incentive to gamble on a Celebrity ship if we can’t recieve free cruise offers? While I can book with a TA and have the casino assess money off or OBC, it will never really be a free cruise; whereas RC has offered us many free cruises. We prefer Celebrity, but it’s hard to pass up FREE.

As soon as I saw the subject I knew it would be a Celebrity Blue Chip question! 

 

You did better than me. I was told that I would have to not book with my TA for 2 years before I could book through BlueChip again. But that was over a year ago which is enough time for them to change the rules 5 times! Plus if I can't book with anyone else but my TA, it sounds like I just couldn't go on a Celebrity cruise for 2 years which would make me lose my Sapphire status, defeating the purpose. 

 

Think it's time to try URComped for my next booking. If I can.
