Raptor Bill,  I got exactly the same answers from the video, but I can’t get my answers to take either, it still says I have made an error.

 

They gave the answers pretty clearly.  I wrote down the questions and potential answers in advance, so it was easier to answer the questions. That might help you.  Good luck.  

 

Lots of healthy looking people in videos. 🙂

Totally agree and why some people feel the need to cheat or to put the answers on here escapes me.

I’d like to think I’d teach my kids not to cheat in exams either but obviously there will always be those who cheat in life to get ahead.

I think that your strategy of teaching yout children not to cheat is admirable,  and probably the large majority here would agree. Those who ask for, or share answers here probably view the PUP quizzes differently than they view learning opportunities at school or earning opportunities in life. They may see them as a clever marketing strategy initiated by a company to keep its customer base engaged with their product until the time they can sell their product with certainty. They offer a tiny incentive with the hopes that the customer will stay interested. Judging by the interest ithis thread has and continues to generate, the strategy s working well for X.  The customers, honestly or "dishonestly" participating in these activities, are accepting the PUPs and are staying engaged with X in that they are talking about, posting about and otherwise staying engaged with the company. Just another perspective to consider. Those sharing answers or receiving answers are staying engaged with X, albeit in a different way than those "honestly " doing the activities.

I have a related question (my apologies if this has already been answered somewhere), but how can I check if PUP points have been added to my profile - will it show up under the POINTS HISTORY (which currently only lists my past cruises).  Thank you.

PUPs are included in your total Captain Club points. Keep track of your CC points before taking the PUP offer so you know when the CC points have been updated after doing the PUP offers.

I take a screen shot showing current total that is posted that has the date and time at the of screen shot. Then once they post this months PUP's  (around the 15th of next month) confirm receipt of PUP's and also take a screen shot of the new total.

 

Enjoy your cruises on Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. Would like to do a B2B someday like you have scheduled..

I also do not agree with cheating, usually. But in this instance, after wasting all Friday evening watching and re-watching the video, and reading all the info online, I was stuck. I believe I did everything Celebrity wanted of me. I feel I am now proficient in the subject of Beyond Wellness, could even do it as a specialist subject on Mastermind. But the answer to question 3 evaded me completely. Even if I say so myself, I think I deserve those 4 PUP's.

Has anyone been keeping track of how many PUP points have been available?

Including this activity, we have received 54 points. There was one activity ( probably 2 or 3 points) we didn’t do because DH didn’t have a FB account, and I didn’t want to have a different amount of points. He now has a FB profile just so he can participate in the social media ones. So close to 57 activity based (not for cruise booking bonuses) points have been available, that I know of.🥳

That sounds about right.  I checked today for the first time.   I didn't do any of the social media ones and I didn't buy a cruise and managed to get 41 points.  I was surprised it was that much.

There was some glitch in the system yesterday.  I took the quiz three times with the exact same answers each time, and the first two were not successful.   Others reported problems yesterday.  

I didn’t receive an email on another quiz.  Do you have a link to the quiz?  Thanks!

I didn’t work on having DH having the same amount of points because if at least one person is at the level, the other person does get the perks.  Maybe not the same amount of free laundry though 😀.  But I looked at DH’s account some time ago thinking I should have him do all the power ups and he has the SAME number of points!

Host Jazzbeau,

Has this quiz now got you to the required number of points before the Azamara split?
 

So, +4 points for this month, +2 from last month’s quiz which they didn’t give me.

I now take a screen shot of the message that you get when you have completed the quiz, to send to CelebrityCruises to request the missing points.

Yes!  I had given up on getting those last 4 points (and even stopped reading this thread compulsively every day – thank God I didn't unfollow it, so today's email update clued me in to this exercise).  Then we had to look through DW's trash folder to find the newsletter (before I found the link by googling and then also in this thread).  Thanks to all here to helped in finding the video (and in finding the answers – I'm not above taking shortcuts 😉 especially since we have never visited a spa and don't intend too :classic_biggrin:].  Now if they will carry over to Azamara, our next cruise will bring us to exactly 750 points!

I earned 39 points (came to this party late) without spending any money.  When I sign in to DW's account, she shows the same number of points – but when Celebrity sends her emails, they show a lower number for her based on her actual cruises and the few PowerUp activities I duplicated in her name.  If she ever sails alone, I guess she would only get that lower status?  [Not likely to be an issue for us.]

I was thinking that the Celebrity sales department was using old information.  The e-mail sent today shows 726 points when it shows 742 points when I log in.

DH hasn’t even received the emails, and I haven’t signed him up, anyway.  We’ll never travel separately either, but I would think that DH has the points that are on his account when he signed in.  I have friends who have sent X many emails to sign up for the power up emails, but have never received one!  Those of us that get the emails, notice we receive the emails at different times, too, but we always receive the emails, that is why I wondered if there was another quiz email.  The last one that I received was the one to book a cruise this summer on the Milly or Apex, I’m not ready to do that!!! 

 

I’m editing to comment on the last post by WeMissSeaView:  I believe that Celebrity lags behind because they don’t post the points but once a month, usually by the 14th of the month, so they say.

 

Editing again.  Found the quiz in yesterday’s Captains Club email.🤷🏻‍♀️

How do I find how many PUPs I've earned? I've checked Celebrity's webpage but I'm not surprised that I can't find the info.

AFAIK you can't find this info directly on the webpage.  When you log in it shows your total number of points; subtract those you earned on cruises and the remainder is your PowerUp bounty.

How many points awarded:

I tried to make a list for myself so 

I have earned 53 points  and DH only 50 since I would never ask him to sign up for text messages.  

2 additional points were never credited to us for that first Happy Hour where the Celebrity Twitter handle was wrong (Captain's Club said they would be credited, but they were confused about counting our activities at that point so they were not).

There were around 40 points on offer for other activities - new bookings, spa, etc.  And there were 2 pts for an early FB activity that we didn't do. 

Hope this helps answer the earlier question.

Utterly and completely OT:

@prairiegir1, I just want to thank you for bringing a smile to my face. I had a set of Holly Hobbie sheets when I was a little girl, and still have the pillow cases in the back of a cupboard somewhere, I think. Your profile picture reminded me of them. 

 

We now return you to your regularly schedule thread.

Sorry to read that.  I took quiz Saturday and guess by that time it had been fixed.  For sure, it would have been frustrating to answer question and have system indicate you missed a question.  Good news is the 3rd  time worked. I know others may have experienced the same issue.

Just finished watching the Youtube video and took the quiz.  Didn't have any problems so I guess it's fixed.  I almost missed these points because I haven't been online for several days due to illness, but was finally checking emails and saw it in the monthly newsletter.  Thank goodness they posted it there.

I'm hoping they do a few more of these before our cruise next year so afterwards, we would be Elite.  These PUP exercises have really helped.  Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out the PUPs tasks for Facebook, etc., so never earned those points.

Congrats to all earning points!

If you don't read the newsletter emails this PUP opportunity would be easily be overlooked. I didn't even notice when I got the email because I skimmed it  and did not read the email to the bottom. Reading this thread is what  brought  the quiz it to my attention.

Do you suppose people consider that cheating?
