another generous offer from Captain's Club -- 10 extra points

[cruisestitch]

From today's Captain's Club email

 

Yes, I know they don't have to give us any extra points, but it does seem a bit, well, cheesy to me 🙂

Those extra ten ten points could be the little extra that you need to reach the next level before your upcoming cruise.   We were about  10 points away from Elite before a 14 day cruise.   This was also shortly after the conversion to the current point system.   Being Elite would have really been nice on that cruise because it was before they were offering drinks packs as a perk.   After  earning Elite level we have always had a drink pack.  

 

When they offer a Credit Card that earns cruise points you will know that the end is near for the Captain Club as we know it.  

 

Happy cruisng 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

No mention of a credit card that gives Captain’s Club points in any communication .  Are you trying to start a rumor?

My Magic 8 Ball says, don't count on it.

My little experience yeilds that this only happens when fares are higher...so, I am speaking about my own experience...but if it works for you...great!

I believe that was meant as a rhetorical comment, not a rumor. Somewhat like 'when the sky is falling you will know it's time to haul yer buns away'. Perhaps.

10 CC points for booking flights I was going to book is a nice gift in my opinion & IMHO not cheesy.

Agree.

[goofysmom99]

I just checked their prices for flights for two newly booked cruises.....they seem high so I guess I'll be using miles (thanks to a credit card).

So why does this only apply to residents of North America?   

[4774Papa]

I am not worried about getting to Elite plus, the benefits are not that much greater than Elite.

[woody14h]

Great now I only need 2100 more points to Zenith.

I got a  Captains Club Newsletter e-mail mentioning Flights by Celebrity will be starting a new program where you can book flights now and pay later.  Will probably be more costly.

We booked our flights via the new buy now pay later program....they were a lot less expensive than Expedia and they are refundable non stop fares!  From Chicago to Fort Lauderdale!

We really enjoy the free Cafe el Baco coffee, 240 minutes of internet plus the extra laundry for being Elite Plus.

[Ereggae]

Thanks for the confirmation Pier290.  Good to know it works.  Do they just add to the bill and you continue to pay through final payment?  Is this Economy only or is First/Business Class included?

[Cruisin4ABruisen]

I didn't get emailed this offer -- is there any way for me to redeem it? I have a cruise upcoming and could use the extra CC points.

Cruisen4Abruisen, have you already booked your Choice Air flights?  Did you book them within the time frame specified in the T&C fine print?
