rocklinmom Posted November 16, 2023 #27 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I'm still wondering about the "excludes cruise personalizer" and "excludes if not booked at time of reservation" for excursions...these are the kinds of things I hope the promo would apply to since it requires a single purchase of at least $700. Deposits right now are $250 per cabin when making a new booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pansy2801 Posted November 16, 2023 #28 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I just used this offer for a final payment that was due in few days and I received email notification that I used this offer from Amex and will get $175 back. I asked the agent to use the $700 for the fare. I used a different credit card for the rest of the payment. I guess that the offer will be applied in the end but it worth trying if you have it . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh thank you! So it worked for a payment on an already booked cruise. That's a good sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not surprised that your final payment on an existing cruise booking worked. I do not read the terms and conditions as limited to new bookings.

rocklinmom Posted November 16, 2023 #31 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Well it says bookings made as of November 15th so that would seem to be new bookings. Maybe they meant any Princess purchases made as of yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generator515 Posted November 16, 2023 #32 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Think in general it is tough for Amex to tell when the card is run. Will ultimately depend on what level of data Princess sends Amex. Odds are they won’t send it but if they do promo may be clawed back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now the payment is pending, but I want to add that both my husband and I have the blue Amex and we both got the offer. We booked this cruise directly with Princess so I told the agent to use for each of us a $700 for fare (not taxes or insurance) on each of the cards and the rest on a third different one ( all cards these days offer incentives to use them ). We used an Amex offer few years ago and at the time we had a TA who also was able to use both offers. I will come back when I will know if indeed we save today $350 on this cruise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare EllieinNJ Posted November 23, 2023 #44 Share Posted November 23, 2023 So did anyone actually get $350 off their cruise using both your own and spouse's offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExploringTheGlobe Posted November 23, 2023 #45 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Is there a new backdoor way into the offer? It used to be americanexpress.com/wclc but it no longer works. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After we made the payments, the offers disappeared from our accounts. So first I think that you should see if both cards have the offer. Use first on the card that is primary, and if you still have it on the second card it will give you the $175 credit. If not …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted November 25, 2023 #50 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I am going to check our AMEX cards... I am afraid that ours will not have the offer. There used to be a way, we called it the 'back door', to go directly to this offer, even if it is not already on your card. I wonder if anything like this might work?
