tallyho8 Posted July 1, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I get various emails from Celebrity where I can do different things to earn benefit points at home and I was wondering if Royal does this also because I need one point to reach the next highest level.

Baowen Posted July 1, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2021 That doesn't sound right. Maybe you are talking about earning credit card points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkingnj Posted July 1, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Not for applying to C&A levels, however there's a free Facebook game called 'My Vegas Slots" where you earn rewards that can be used towards discounts off cruises, OBC, and casino free play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes that's rather expensive given about what I've spent per a point. (Admittedly price is #1 for me.) About half that or less. I've gone on more than one 3 night cruise for less than $400.

I wish they did since I am three points from Diamond Plus. The Celebrity program has not helped me since I am about 1800 points from Zenith which is my next tier.......

They sure do, but it is costly. Book a cruise, pay for it in full, do not show up and sail on it, you still get the points to more up in your Crown and Anchor status. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prevents people from doing what you said then getting refunded through insurance or simply accumulating points by finding the cheapest cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t been one to chase points, but when we needed a few more to make diamond + I booked a cruise. I got a super deal on an aft jr suite so it was a win win for us. I also did it because our next cruise was going to be a TA with a B2B Baltic cruise, unfortunately due to covid those didn’t happen. 😢 I have only received a few of the extra points from Celebrity. I won’t do anything that calls for FB or a lot of the other things I just don’t bother with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigsCanFly Posted July 2, 2021 #24 Share Posted July 2, 2021 We would have made Diamond+ on any of the dozen or so RCCLcruises that they have cancelled on us since March 2020. We are now hoping for September, October, November or several in 2022. We are ready! On topic, our spending on HAL cruises adds points to our mariner status.
