NCL-Amex Offer

[joepeka]

I didn't see this mentioned yet but I noticed an offer on one of our Amex cards today where if you spend a minimum of $500 on an NCL cruise fare, you get 12,500 Membership Rewards points bonus. I am guessing that there is also a companion offer that gives a statement credit back (e.g. spend $500, get a $125 statement credit) but that isn't on any of our cards - just the bonus MR points.

I wish Amex/NCL would remember that other countries exist with these offers.

Not showing on my Platinum card. I wonder if it is selective?

Would such an offer be compatible with your consumer protection laws?

Yes, we have many similar Amex offers, including many travel ones. Never had an NCL one though.

Not showing yet on my Amex Platinum Select offers either but have made a note to look for it!

[buchman67]

Thanks for the tip!  Just checked and it's on mine.  $125 Statement credit through 8/3/2021, online only.  I will make a payment soon on upcoming cruise so this saved me a few extra $$.

I guess it is individual.  I've gotten many NCL ones, have used it 2 or 3 times on the same card.  But I don't get many offers that others get.

 

With all the cancelations in the past year, many of the offers were forfeited.  Hopefully, we can all get back in the game!

Yes, Amex offers do differ between people/cards, but I've never heard of anyone in the UK seeing one.

 

Where are you based?

It's all based on your card spend patterns.  Over the years I've seen a few offers on Carnival Corporation (all lines under Carnival), a couple on Celebrity and of course NCL today.  I've always paid some, if not the entirety, of my cruises' costs with my AMEX card.

 

Also, if you booked with AMEX Platinum card.  Have your TA check if the booked rate can qualify for the extra OBC offered via AMEX Platinum Cruise Privilege Program.  TAs can get that OBC for Platinum cardholders through AMEX's Agency Service Desk.

I have a booking on which final payment is due later in August, and I'll also pay at least the $500 in time for this.

[Heather1972]

Darn, not on my amex blue card. I usually get these offers.

Quite true:

"CPP bookings with Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, and Royal Caribbean International, eligible Card Members receive an onboard credit (in USD) of: $100 for inside and outside staterooms, $200 for balcony, verandah, and mini-suite staterooms, and/or $300 for suites."

Are these NCL branded amex cards?

No.  The offer is on all sorts of nonbranded cards.  We got our on our AMEX Everyday Preferred.

 

COme to think of it, is there even such a thing as an NCL branded AMEX card?

It looks like it's an NCL MasterCard.  I really don't pay much attention to this stuff.

The Delta Air Lines Skymiles PLATINUM Card  is NOT the same as the AMEXCO Platinum Card

The Delta Air Lines Skymiles RESERVE Card would be the equivalent to that AMEXCO Card 

 

There is whole slugfest of branded AMEXCO cards  - read and reread the fine print

for what each covers.

I don't have a Platinum Skymiles card, anyway. I wasn't talking about Platinum offers or benefits.

 

[EllieinNJ]

It was on both mine and my husbands blue card.  So $125x2=$250 statement credit.
