I booked my cruise last week. You need to add the offer first (needs to be the $150/$500 offer unless you have $1500 still outstanding) and then pay. In the past when paying for cruises and/or pre-paid grats it had always worked even if already booked. Unfortunately fun shop, gift cards, etc. will not as they are charged differently. Unfortunately I just paid for all 3 of my cruises a couple week ago as final payment was due 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added the offer and upgraded to balcony to have my remaining balance over $500. I hope it works for me even though I already booked. How long does it usually take to credit?

I booked my cruise last week. Yes paying for cruise or pre-paid grats will work even for existing booking. I was nervous because my charge changed from RSVR to LINEMIAMI but saw the following this morning in "Activity": -$150.00 Will appear as a credit on your Nov 8 statement as CARNIVAL CRUISE LINEMIAMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiokate Posted October 21, 2021 #31 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Boyfriend has the Spend $500, Get $150 offer, but I don't have either. 🙄 If anyone finds a backdoor link, please post it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkster Posted October 29, 2021 #33 Share Posted October 29, 2021 My Amex offer is "Spend $1,500 or more, get $400 back" at Carnival, Princess, Holland America, Seabourn, Cunard between 10/18/21 and 12/31/21. Last week I booked a few Carnival excursions that totaled more than $1,500. My statement shows the charge as CARNIVAL CRUISE LINEMIAMI FL. Almost always with Amex offers, I'll immediately get a "Great news! You used your Amex Offer" e-mail. However, for this charge, I didn't and no credit has appeared on my statement. I've seen conflicting information in the forums about using Amex offers for excursions. Has anybody had any luck with these recent offers and excursions? Thanks.

I know, I have Celebrity, Oceania, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean, but no Carnival. I did save $550 on $1,500 on Royal last week. And I followed someone’s advice (thank you, someone whose username I have forgotten) to use the $50 off $200 Best Buy offer to purchase Amazon gift cards and use those for Carnival gift cards.

Already pre-paid grats to get $150. Unfortunately all 3 cruises had been paid for but I purposely waited to pre-pay grats knowing they would qualify. CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE RSVR REDEEMED 10/18/2021 You saved $150.00 I just ordered the drink package on line. I wonder if the $150 will work with that?

If the charge comes from Carnival cruise Line, it works. It does not work if it comes from just "The Fun Shop". My last excursions were charges under Carnival Cruise Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ontheweb Posted October 30, 2021 #41 Share Posted October 30, 2021 We once had a second offer after we had already made payment in full and used a previous offer on a Holland America cruise and used it to buy OBC. We did receive the credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostsoulcruiser Posted October 30, 2021 #42 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Do not have the AMEX offer yet but I had a RCCL, Oceania (sp?) and an NCL offer. Added these but already have a CCL booked and hoping to get the offer later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
