Quick Thoughts

This looks like a great deal since it includes a number of popular cruise lines and specifically says that you are free to book through your own travel professional, meaning that you should be able to stack this with a wide range of offers for extra on-board credit, upgrades, etc. The fact that it includes a range of cruise lines means there is probably something for all tastes when it comes to ships / destinations.

I’m not a cruiser myself, so I can’t speak to the quality of these lines or ships, but if you value Membership Rewards points, this is a very nice return. Our Reasonable Redemption Values pegs Membership Rewards at 1.82 cents each, meaning this offer is worth about $273 – though you can certainly do better with strategic transfers/redemption. Combined with whatever special offers you can find between now and 10/15 that should work out well if you’re looking for a deal on a cruise.

Keep in mind the fact that the terms indicate a limit of 15K points per card member. In the past, this type of offer could be synced to multiple cards and you could split payment to stack up more points if you’re spending multiples of $750. However, with the recent claw back notifications on the Staples offer, I wouldn’t suggest going that route this time around.

As always, we have added this to our database of Current Amex Offers.
