dasmonkey Posted November 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Need to use some points ASAP from this card. Don't have any travel to apply at the moment. On hotels gift cards are frequently handled by 3rd parties and are NOT typically flagged as travel and therefore you can't apply points. Does anyone know if you buy gift cards directly from Celebrity if the are flagged as travel thus allowing you to apply points? If not Celebrity has anyone found other mainstream cruise lines that do flag gift certificates as travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't have any experience with this particular card, I've found that refundable air fares or hotel bookings are often helpful in this scenario.

That's a good idea as well! So you think if you applied the points then cancelled like 30 days later they would credit back cash and not points? Thanks!

I just did it, though not intentionally, with a Hurricane Ian related cancellation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
