$100 back on $500 or more at Carnival with targeted Amex Offer (enrollment required)

There’s a new targeted Amex Offer out that’s good for $100 back when you spend $500 or more with Carnival Cruise Lines. You’ll need to enroll in the offer if targeted, but this can make for a good stack with free or discounted cruise line casino offers if you’re still getting those.

The Deal

• A targeted Amex Offer is out to get $100 back as a statement credit when you spend $500 in one or more qualifying purchases on cruise reservations booked through Carnival Cruise Lines (or a Carnival travel advisor) by 6/2/26.

Key Terms

• Expires 6/2/26
• Offer valid only for qualifying Carnival Cruise Line reservations booked directly with Carnival online only at US website carnival.com, by calling 1-800-764-7419, or through a Carnival Cruise Line travel advisor between 03/02/2026 and 06/02/2026.
• Excludes Holland America, Princess Cruises, Seabourn and Cunard brands, purchases made onboard cruise ships, Carnival Bon Voyage presales and purchases through the 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.

Quick Thoughts

This can obviously be a good deal if you’re targeted and you have an upcoming booking with Carnival. I’ve used these offers before and always found any type of pre-payment to work, whether the initial cruise booking or a later deposit. On the other hand, on-board purchases, which are excluded in the terms, have not worked for me. Don’t forget to enroll in the offer prior to making a qualifying purchase.
