TeaBag Posted November 28, 2019 #151 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Can anyone tell me if the cruise has to be purchased through Amex Travel to get this offer? We purchased from a TA. I can't see cruises mentioned anywhere on our offers from Amex in the travel section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked directly on the Celebrity website today and within 5 minutes i got an email from AMEX saying the I will receive the cash back offer.. I think it depends on which Amex you have....If you have questions I would contact the TA you booked with tomorrow.. Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted November 28, 2019 #153 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Thank you. We have the gold one. We booked a cruise on the Veterans sale and wouldn't you know it, I booked that one with CDN $, on Mastercard as the dollar just seems to drop more all the time. I considered getting Celebrity to redo it using the Amex card, but it just seems to be too much trouble. You have to have a brain like a computer these days to get the best of everything!

Offers have to be added to the card online. You access the list to add them in your online account. If your card is Canadian the general wisdom discussed earlier in the thread was that Canadian Amex cards don’t get the same offers and none has seen a Celebrity offer on a Canadian Amex card.

Thanks Charles. I can't find any offers for Celebrity like the $150 OBC on our offer section. I will use the Princess one (for 10,000 points) and do have it added to our card. It is a US one which we know we would never get now! We have had it for nearly 30 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you might try is adding some of the offers and refreshing the page. New offers will be added to bring your number offers back to 100 offers. That has worked for me a couple of times.

Jeremiah1212 Posted November 29, 2019 #161 Share Posted November 29, 2019 FWIW - I had the offer for 15k points on my Gold card, made a $500 payment via my travel agent, payment has posted and billing cycle ended. I definitely did not get the points issued. I’ll chat with Amex next week to confirm. I had a feeling I wouldn’t get anything after never receiving a confirmation email like I’ve always had in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had the $150 credit offered, and the credit appeared on my card within 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter, you will likely not get the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sippican Posted November 29, 2019 #165 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Added the offer, made a $500 payment two days ago directly with Celebrity, have NOT received confirmation e-mail. The charge has posted to my AMEX account statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On cash offers the credit usually takes. A few days. I have not had points offers for any of the cruise offers but on other offers I don’t think the points posted until after my statement closed.

MamaFej Posted November 29, 2019 #171 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I've tried every tip posted both here and on the Princess board, and I'm still striking out on my Delta Platinum AmEx, but the fact that others are finding ways to make it work gives me hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichYak Posted November 30, 2019 #173 Share Posted November 30, 2019 For those still looking for data points, I called Celebrity and purchased $500 of OBC on Wednesday 11/27. This morning, I see that the $150 credit posted to my Amex account dated yesterday 11/29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
