It will be on Thursday, November 9th. All purchases (up to a $2,500) limit will receive an extra 2 points per dollar. If you are a preferred rewards member, the extra reward from B of A is only calculated based only on the normal 3 points per dollar spent. Thanks -never heard of this before. Good day to book my excursions and pay off my next cruise (due in December anyway). I know from past experience that if the payment drops, they will process a refund so no harm in paying early. And even better, my cutoff date is the 8th, so charges won't be due for 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince_g Posted October 14, 2023 #5878 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Here is last years info. I have been googling, waiting to see if they were going to do it again. Found info saying it's on the 9th this year.

Help me understand. Just got the NCL card and have triggered the bonus. Also just qualified for BOA preferred rewards at 50%. On a NCL spend of $1000 will I get 1000+2000 WPs and a BOA bonus of 500? On the Nov 9 day, what would my bonus look like on that same NCL spend of $1000. thanks for the heads up, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would get 3,000 from NCL, plus 2,000 from 'more rewards', plus 50% of your spend amount, for a total of 5,500 world points. Here is a link I found which gives everything you need to know...

I looked back at my rewards activity from last year. Found out it isn't 50% of the amount you spent, but 50% of the points NCL gave you, so it would actually give you 6,500 (based on $1,000 spend). It is a very good deal. I spent 2,000 last year that day, and got 14,500 points, with the 75% preferred bonus.

MagnoliaBlossom Posted October 16, 2023 #5887 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Thanks for posting this. I remember it from last year but wasn’t able to use it as we were off cruising. Okay, on mt calendar now and since we have multiple cards I can really wrack up some points 😍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sign up is needed. The extra points trigger automatically. I will be cruising on Oceania Insignia on November 10th, but will squeeze in time to pay for my next NCL cruise the day before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read about it last year on this forum. If B of A advertised it, maybe they did an email blast, or maybe it was on their website. I think it was so popular last year they had to impose that $2,500 limit. Imagine the points one would make from paying for a haven booking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. And unlike some airline programs, they do not charge you to move your points. We have several cards and when I’m ready to use points I move points to my main account. Although I believe you can have an agent pull them from separate accounts, but it’s too easy to move them yourself online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cruise is in 45 days so it’s probably to late to get another card and apply the points towards and upgrade at this point. Maybe for next time. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted October 17, 2023 #5897 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Depending on your credit score, if you get instant approval you usually get your card in 7-10 days, which means you’d have it for the 11/9 special, but your bonus points from signing up for the new card 20,000 points usually, won’t show up until you’ve charged the mandatory amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both applied for new cards last year and I moved his points to my card, and then used them to do a double meta upgrade from interior to balcony for our upcoming 12 night cruise in Feb. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpepin92 Posted October 17, 2023 #5900 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I have 30k points. Have a guaranteed inside room. I tried to do a single meta upgrade to an oceanview but there are no guaranteed oceanviews available. We are a family of 4 and cannot settle for an inside cabin, I’m tempted to pay outright to upgrade but it’s very expensive. Any suggestions? As I mentioned the cruise is in 45 days and don’t have much time to get points from a second card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
