I guess I've used too many offers in the past. On Amex all I have is NCL, Oceania, and Regent, which will remain unused.

Use them on friends or family if they use those lines and have them split the savings with you.  Do it all the time w Amex offers

I think I have about 250 offers on my Delta Platinum AMEX right now and none of them are useful!  They used to cover the annual fee no problem...

I usually have no problem covering the annual fee on other benefits including Walmart+

Good call - plus the cell phone protection!  I'd definitely take a free $150 on Carnival though, haha!

 

When I do get AMEX Carnival offers, it was for points and not statement credit.

 

The last one I saw that was useful was in Celebrity.

It's not showing on any of my AmEX cards this time around. One tip I heard was to keep adding offers because AmEx always makes 100 available so maybe that will make it pop up. I haven't been able to get the "backdoor" way to work for years now 😞

I wasted a few minutes of my life and added all of them. One or more expire today or tomorrow, so something should pop up anyway.

I now have over 200 offers added and still no Carnival. Maybe next time.

Since November 2015, I have received $1,655 in statement credits from cruise purchases.  I did not receive any of the previous batch that were reported, and none this time.  I have 182 offers added to my card.  I wonder if they are excluding people who have used too many offers and, in my case, don’t use the card for anything else?  My SO has received $625 since May 2018, uses his card frequently, and did not receive the latest two batches of offers.  There are 175 offers added to his card.  We have completely separate, unrelated accounts.

fine print states new booking and then also states:

 

Excludes single and group shore excursions, weddings and occasions, meetings, charters, airport transportation, Fly2Fun, in-room gifts and shopping add-ons, and The Fun Shops

 

Does anyone know if the offer will work for say a drink package? Is the drink package considered a shopping add on? 

 

Full Offer Terms:

 

OFFER TERMS

Enrollment limited. Must first add offer to Card and then use same Card to redeem. Only U.S.-issued American Express® Cards are eligible. Limit 1 enrolled Card per Card Member across all American Express offer channels. Your enrollment of an eligible American Express Card for this offer extends only to that Card. Offer valid only for qualifying Carnival Cruise Line reservation booked directly via carnival.com and by phone at 1-800-764-7419 between 8/8/2022 and 11/7/2022. Offer only valid for transactions made in US dollars. Excludes Holland America, Princess Cruises, Seabourn and Cunard brands, purchases made onboard cruise ships, Carnival Bon Voyage presales and purchases via mobile app. Excludes single and group shore excursions, weddings and occasions, meetings, charters, airport transportation, Fly2Fun, in-room gifts and shopping add-ons, and The Fun Shops. Not valid for gift card purchases. Offer is non-transferable. Limit of 1 statement credit per Card Member. You may not receive the statement credit if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as qualifying for the offer. For example, you may not receive the statement credit if (a) the merchant uses a third-party to sell their products or services; or (b) the merchant uses a third-party to process or submit your transaction to us (e.g., using mobile or wireless card readers); or (c) you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or make a purchase using a mobile or digital wallet. Purchases may fall outside of the offer period in some cases due to a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction (for example, the purchase date for online orders may be the shipping date). Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 11/7/2022, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Note that American<br>Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase from merchant until all services from your qualifying purchase have been provided by merchant. Statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is cancelled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your purchase as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit. Limit 1 enrolled Card per American Express Card online account. The enrolled Card account must be active, not past due, canceled, or have a returned payment outstanding to receive the statement credit. Any benefit earned from this offer is in addition to the rewards (i.e. Membership Rewards or cash back) earned as part of your existing Card benefits, but your ability to earn spend-based rewards for the purchase will be based on the amount after any statement credit or other discount is applied. Amex Offers are dynamic and personalized, so the offers you see may change. For questions regarding your Card Account, please call the number on the back of your Card. By adding an offer to a Card, you agree that American Express may send you communications about the offer.

I used it last time for the fun shops, the Amex and Wells offers both worked, you could always just make a payment on one of your future cruises, that also worked before. It will get classified as a new booking since it's going towards an unpaid cruise.

We got the offer on our AMEX Blue Cash Everyday but now I have to figure out if I can even use it. We already have 2 upcoming fully paid for cruises (7 day Panorama in Nov/Dec & 12 day Carnival Pride Baltic next July). Those were paid for with FCC's due to COVID. Don't need Cheers on the 7 day and already have $600 OBC on that one. Already paid for Cheers on the 12 day Baltic next year but thinking of canceling that and using the money for excursions instead. We did Cheers on our recent 10 day Alaska on the Miracle and not really sure we got value for it. We are really better suited at a max 5-6 drinks per day so we may be better off just paying individually for drinks. Baltic Sea cruise is fairly port intensive with 7 port days and only 4 at sea days. Still contemplating that one.

 

Hoping Carnival adds some Fall 2024 Hawaii cruises before the offer expires. Scored a Premium Balcony on the Miracle for our Hawaii sailing that got cancelled due to COVID so would love to be able to replicate that but those cabins go extremely fast. Would even settle for a bowling alley balcony like we had on Miracle in June on our Alaska cruise. But same thing - those obviously go fast as well.

I've used the offer on existing reservations and gotten the benefit.  They just need to see it charged from Carnival in the U.S.  What is the Offer ID code on your current offer?
