Man, I pulled the trigger and applied last month to get the 20k points offer. I just clicked through the ad on the NCL app and it looks like they're offering the 25k again (of course). I wonder if my chances of calling and getting the extra 5k would be zero. haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoptom Posted September 13, 2023 #5828 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I understand using a statement credit instead of purchasing onboard credit with points, but do not see mention of that anywhere in the terms of my new account. The Royal Caribbean card, also with Bank of America, does not have that option. Where is this information located please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beneath the amount of points there is verbage like “click here to redeem” It will show you a window with choices earn or redeem, click redeem. You will have three choices in the next window, gift cards, travel, and cash. Click on cash. There you can choose a drop down menu that will be statement credit or check. it has changed over time. It used to show you all the options on the first redemption box, but some programmer decided it would be cute to make it multiple steps rather than one user friendly option.

If you already have the card is there any way to use it somehow to get these signup point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you originally signed-up for the card, any bonus points available at that time should have been applied to your account. There are expiration dates for the use of all points. Perhaps you need to log into your card's account and verify any that you might have. Otherwise, if you want the new offer, you would need to apply for another card account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert_ Dweller Posted September 20, 2023 #5835 Share Posted September 20, 2023 How far in advance should I redeem points for onboard credit. Does it have to be done a certain number of days before sail date ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other side, you don't have to wait to request it, I've done it more than a year in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But better yet, charge the things you want to use the OBC for to get the triple points and then request a statement credit to pay off the charges. This way you earn points on your charges and still have the same amount to not have to pay. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhtravels Posted September 21, 2023 #5838 Share Posted September 21, 2023 When do the triple points as "triple" on the BOA site? For clarity, I made final payment of $5,015 on 9/13 for my January cruise. My pending points show as 5015. There is nothing in the bonus points. I assume that there should be an additional 10,030 points in bonus coming. Will this only happen when the statement cuts or should those already show? I hope this makes sense!

MagnoliaBlossom Posted September 22, 2023 #5841 Share Posted September 22, 2023 You should see 15,00 points plus whatever other charges you have on the card on your next statement. The points will just be one number, meaning, “bonus points” is already calculated in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I logged into my account. This is what I found by going to the Rewards Summary. This is a table of your WorldPoints® and the month they may expire. The table includes the next 24 expiration events. Be sure to redeem your WorldPoints® before they expire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, they’ve changed the site since I looked at it last, which I rarely do because I never ever use points for OBC, you leave too much money on the table. But, here’s how to do OBC. Click on the rewards tab. next to the box with your point balance is a photo on the right side with a beach or ship or some other pretty picture, it changes from time to time, and says something like redeem points. Click there. You will see the option for OBC. Click that and you choose how many points you want to redeem. But as someone else said, you’d do better to use your card onboard and get triple points, then when your statement comes use points for a statement credit.when you use points for OBC you lose the ability to earn those triple points.

Rare fun_one Posted September 23, 2023 #5847 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Thank you for that explanation! What you say makes perfect sense. We want to purchase the PLUS drink package but wanted to wait to do that onboard so that would make sense to just charge it to the NCL card and then when I get home, trade in the points for a credit to the card. Thank you again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxedmoon Posted September 24, 2023 #5848 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Not sure if this has been posted, but onboard the Encore they had the 25k point offer + $25 OBC for being approved. I signed up at the CruiseNext desk. The other nice part is they can get an instant issue card number and use it for our onboard spending.

MagnoliaBlossom Posted September 25, 2023 #5849 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I’ve never seen NCL advertise their card onboard before. Carnival has done it for years, always surprised me that NCL didn’t seize the moment, since they obviously will do anything for a buck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
