crdtrnr Posted July 29, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Another reason why NOT to do business with them. I booked thru my PVP at Carnival, so that he could get the credit, then transferred the booking to Seamiles, so that I could redeem my miles. Then the aggrevation starts... 1. My error - I booked with a military discount - I didn't realize that I would not be getting my full discount from Seamiles. Got a $62 discount from Military, Seamiles was (250-62) 188. They discount the discount the amount you already get (no double dipping.) 2. I booked a 4a gtd. They like to assign cabins. 3. Later (this weekend) I notice that the OV Gtd is running at the same price as the 4a ($349) (good price, btw)...took two days of calling to get my rep at Seamiles.....It would take an ADDITIONAL $150 to change booking to a OV!!! The rep said that OV and IS only get $100 off instead of $250!!!*****! In addition to, A discounted discount does not get the discount replaced if changes are made (I got $188 with military, if I change to a 6a, I still only get the $188, instead of the $250). 4. Too much trouble to cancel and rebook, especially at a lower discounted rate! So, live and learn, and Cancel the dratted card after the cruise! (this is addition to them lowering my credit limit last year a week before my europe trip - I called them to get a pin#, and that was their response!) Oh well, any cruise is better than no cruise. Thanks for letting me vent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted July 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2008 That's what I love about my American Express Blue Sky. I get the full $100 for 7,500 points....no matter how cheap I get the cruise!!! Plus, no black out dates...no restrictions...I can use it on cruises, car rental, hotels etc. And I can book with whom ever I please!!! Total freedom!! AND they are currently giving me double points on all purchases over $2,500.00 for the next 3 months!!!! LOVE IT!!!
