Holland America Line Privileges™

Has anyone got this email recently from HAL? Your thoughts on it.

 

YOUR FREE GIFT IS WAITING FOR YOU, TOO!

When you embark on your upcoming cruise, be sure to visit the Holland America Line Privileges™ concierge to receive your gift and schedule a short preview with one of our associates to learn more about this groundbreaking rewards program.

 

Our new program features the ability to earn up to 50% cash back in the form of cruise credits. Members earn cruise credits by doing things they are already doing today — shopping for wine and merchandise, staying in hotels and resorts and enjoying golf and spa packages. You could earn enough cruise credits to pay for your entire next cruise!

 

We look forward to introducing you to the newest program in cruising!

*Holland America Line Privileges is not a credit card program — it is an exclusive membership program by invitation only.

Just received the invitation today, and to check it out on our upcoming cruise. I wonder what the free gift is...another shore excursion bag?

We didn't receive even a blue bag on our 11 nt Mexico cruise. Maybe now we know why- we needed to sign up :-)

The free gift was a cheap selfie stick. We did not sign up for their program. Wouldn't have paid off for us.

A selfie stick? Agree -- Cheap!!

I have never used one and would never use one in the future.

It says by invitation only I guess I know why I didn't get mine.

After reading the entire thread above, It would not be a good investment for us..[it is probably good for people who travel constantly for the rebates, but an initial investment of $1900 plus $99 a year is of no use to us.. /SIZE]
