joepeka Posted June 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2021 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KeithJenner Posted June 4, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I wish Amex/NCL would remember that other countries exist with these offers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we have many similar Amex offers, including many travel ones. Never had an NCL one though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchman67 Posted June 4, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 4, 2021 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 $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Amex offers do differ between people/cards, but I've never heard of anyone in the UK seeing one. Where are you based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
