Carnival Credit Card cruise credit.

[cmptrwiz]

WE recently received our Barclays Carnival Credit card and have used it and now have enough points to get $200 off of a Carnival cruise.  My biggest concern is if I pay for part of our cruise we have booked for January 2022 (final payment due Oct 2 2021) and the cruise is canceled by Carnival or us  will the 2000 point be returned to the credit card for future use or will they disappear?  I thought I read somewhere that it happened to a cruiser and Barclays kept the points?

Correction: 20,000 points not 2000 points.

So I called Barclays and spoke to a customer representative, who obliviously English was not her primary language and she made it sound like we would loose our 20,000 points.

That's a great suggestion, but my concern is I take the statement credit, Carnival cancels, then Carnival refunds the charge to my Carnival credit card and then Barclays revokes my $200 credit and keeps the 20,000 points?

Why not just attach that card to your s&s account, pretend like that money is OBC, then use the statement credit when you get home?

Carnival has been giving OBC to entice us to rebook cruises that have had to be cancelled during the shutdown. Instead of a refund if you may lose the points, you could get FCC plus OBC.
