Neesa Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 I was perusing my American Express Cash Back card; if you have this take a PEEK. I had an offer today for 150.00 returned if you spend $500.00 on Celebrity. I am waiting to sail Celebrity until I reach Diamond on RCCL but it can make the pain of the initial deposit a little less painful. Just in case someone is looking to place that celebrity deposit today, I wanted to share. Have a great weekend everyone Maybe @JLMoran?? acesandeights, JLMoran and cruisellama 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 It's a targeted offer. With so many cruise charges on my Amex they never offer me cruise related offers that other people report seeing. The last one I had was for Carnival back in 2013.

JLMoran Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Thanks for the mention, Neesa. I've never actually had an Amex card, never saw the need (or cost) for one. I know it's not the greatest card for cruise bookings, but I have a Celebrity Select VISA that I use so I get the extra points that can be redeemed for OBC or other items. acesandeights and Neesa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjstrand Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 I have this offer but it looks like it is tightly controlled. New bookings through a Amex linked website off the Celebrity page. I am going to try to make a payment on a new booking but not made through that page. I don't think it'll work. Please, anyone let us know if it worked for you.

Love Amex. They are working with me on a significant sum for a SilverSea cancellation. SilverSea acknowledges I am due a refund but want to take many months to provide it. They sent an email to that effect. I shared that with Amex who agreed to use the dispute process to get that charge off my account while SilverSea drags their feet providing it. I was honest with Amex that SilverSea did agree to refund it and Amex agreed I should not have to wait months and months to get it then force Amex is cut me a check in 2021 once it does post. Amex doesn't want to play this game anymore than I do. WAAAYTOOO, Neesa, acesandeights and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay an annual fee, but I get that and more back in benefits every year. I have the Celebrity offer on my account and am just about ready to put it to use.

Update: my wife has a card attached to my account, so I was able to add the AmEx offer to both cards. I made a payment on each card through my travel agent (Foray Travel) for an upcoming cruise. These were just additional payments on a cruise I already had booked, not a new booking. I received the credit back from Celebrity on both cards within 2 days!
