Once per card. So if you have it on multiple cards, you can use it once on each of them.

 

What are the other 2 cards that they do not have it? Are they on the same login as the 2 that do? If you remove them from the shared ids and create new AMEX logins for the other cards (so each is on its own login) you should be able to load it onto all of your cards.

 

One is an Amex SPG and the other is a Delta Amex. My other cards are a blue and just a regular Amex. The last two are the ones that I got the offer from. I heard that cards that are affiliated with another business are not eligible. I believe, it since my two plane Jane cards are eligible, but the SPG and Delta are not. By the way, the two cards that have the shared log in are the ones that are eligible for the $100 discount. The two that don't , SPG and Delta are not.

YMMV, but I saw someone post that they went to http://www.wlcl.com/amex and got it added to one of the travel cards that normally don't get competing offers.

If you do not find this offer under your "offers" page then you can go to http://www.wlcl.com/amex and add the offer to your AMEX card. If you have multiple AMEX cards, you must first unlink any card you wish to add this offer to in order to use this offer multiple times.

 

For example, you log into your AMEX account and it shows Three cards. Amex #1 Amex #2 Amex #3. You find the offer located in "offers" for Amex #2. Load it to your card.

 

In order to get the offer on Amex #1 & Amex #3, you must unlink these cards from your account and set up their own login account. Once you do that, you can go to http://www.wlcl.com/amex and add the offers for Amex #1 and Amex #3.

 

Then you can use all Three cards to get $100 off! Hope this helps!

You had the right idea, but the link you posted doesn't actually go where you intended. The correct link is:

I just went thru this with Celebrity 2 months ago. I booked with this deal in mind but my TA didn't mention I had to load it first. Since I didn't AE will not honor the credit. Come to find out the TA had told several clients the same thing so Supposedly we were going to get a credit from TA. Numerous phone calls and lots of time later still no credit.

 

These offers are totally random on AE cards. It must depend on spending habits I'm thinking. So make sure you load the offer onto your account before accepting the deal! Mine was $150 btw.

I never received this offer from Amex and have been watching for it every month. I went to that above link yesterday & it did let me add it to our Amex Hilton Surpass card and is now showing up in my list of offers when I sign in.

 

We are sailing in 11 days, so I went in this morning and paid for our excursions in advance as they were just over $500. We won't be making any other plans before it expires. I will report back if I get the credit as usually, the credit is there 2-3 days after I make the charge.

YES ! Mine was AMEX Platinum.

 

I purchased 500 OBC from the website/personalizer, after loading the offer on my card.

 

I had already paid for the cruise, the month before, so I had to do it that way. Worked out well for me.

May I ask what BCE is? Thanks! You purchased your princess gift card on Princess's website? How long did it take to get your credit?

I booked my cruise through a travel agent (which saved me >$500), with a Visa card. I have this offer on my AMEX. I still haven't made final payment. Is there any way for me to take advantage of this offer at this point? Buying a gift card? Prepaying gratuities? Any ideas?

I haven't made final payment either. I called my TA yesterday with my amex cards and had her put a $500 payment towards the cruise with each card. I already got notified from amex that my payment qualified for the credit.

 

Also some have gotten credit buying obc.

This will work ... I've done it before on a few different cruise lines.

www.americanexpress.com/wlcl

 

I still don't see the offer after I click the above link, and login to my amex.

 

Would you please explain how do I add the offer? Am I suppose to see the offer if I use the above link? (vs if I use http://www.americanexpress.com, I don't see the offer)?

 

Thanks,

April

BCE = Blue Cash Everyday, a variety of AMEX card. You will get the credit on your card within a couple of days of the actual charge posting.
