Captain’s Club Power Up Points

[springfire]

Just now noticed that we received our points.  We also wish we had participated earlier in this program.   Oh well, hope they continue.

No, this is a post pandemic activity.

The only way you could earn Captain’s Club points was by sailing.

I am thankful then that I did participate a bit.   I hope they continue with at least one email a month with the ability to earn points here and there.  I'm still Classic level, but now I am half way to Select having only taken one cruise in 2019.  Certainly not the level of some posters in the thread, but I did enjoy being able to earn something while not sailing.

We received our points yesterday but the promotional email we received today showed our previous total! X IT at work.

They might continue them if, IMHO, they see a positive cause and effect with booking cruises($$$).  Otherwise I do not think they will continue them for much longer as they restart their fleet of ships..

Same here.

Got the 4 points in both of our accounts on both Celebrity and Azamara.  So our booked Azamara cruise will make us Discoverer Plus [probably won't make us Elite Plus, because the system will surely have been split by Sep. 2022].  Anyway, I'm a happy camper and thanks to Celebrity for doing this!

Did anyone receive points for the June 11th social media event?

You won't get those until mid-July. It's in the "fine print". They're generally credited around the 15th.

Points post by the 15th of the month after you earn them. So you should see points from June activities in mid-July.

Good to hear. Thank you

Still hoping for some easy PUP's this month/summer.  At moment of truth, I did not do last one where you had to post to social media.

With further cancellations in progress, maybe that would be good news for the power up points….I don’t see the program continuing once Cruising is back in oh Lord, but maybe we will get a few here and there.  I just hope there are no more social media requirements.

I agree that PUP's will not last forever.  I still think PUP's can have some value even after Celebrity is fully up and running.  Again, though it would have to translate into more bookings IMHO.   Where I see it being the most helpful is for those close to the next higher level and wanting to reach that level prior to sailing and not having to sail a second time before getting any benefit of the next level..  

 

 I did one social media PUP activity earlier and it was somewhat of a hassle.

They take 2/3 days to update.

So I was just scrolling through and saw the recent post about GoGreen - interesting concept - I decided to check my level and I'm 26 points shy of elite which I'll get on my next cruise (December 2022)

 

I also see there is something new with Power Up Points - get points for doing things like surveys - I was wondering if anyone has seen / gotten emails on this yet - I am hoping that between and December next year I can do enough surveys / etc to get to Elite

 

Thanks

[cruisestitch]

It’s been going on for several months. Do a search of Cruise Critic and you can see how it evolved.  No one knows if there will be more opportunities for Power up Points now that Cruising has begun again.

We were able to go from 270 to 302 using power up (Elite!)

 

Program started May, 2020 (?).

Have also done some of the activities over the last year.  Sadly unless the benefits changes the actual benefits of Captain's Club is greatly diminished. 

And yes, the bag of laundry is nice for those indestructible items.

[SWFL Cruisers]

Thanks to the Power Up Points I will be Elite Plus when I complete my booked cruises.

If opportunities to earn points will still be offered, "pl281," we recommend that you take advantage of them.  We were able to advance from Elite to Elite Plus since the "plague" struck in March, 2020.

Now that X is showing Guarantee bookings on some cruises, that don't include perks, benefits could actually be worth something again, especially to folks who don't drink.

Thank you for this.  
I've signed up and as my booking has double Captain’s Club points attached to it, I’m hopeful that this extra day also doubles!😱

[WeMissSeaView]

I am currently on the Edge and it is my first cruise as Elite Plus thanks to the PUP program.  As expected, not much difference other then the extra bag of laundry.  

[dreams_of_travel]

I would be wary of this part: 

Go Green Bonus Points are excluded from any other Club point promotions.

I have to wonder if this clause would negate the current double points promo.
