princess rewards visa card

[kkontny]

OK all knowing ones (fmattox, penny, etc...)does anyone have the Princess rewards Visa card? If so....what do u think about it? I've read the terms and conditions and can't really see y a cruiser wouldn't want to have the card. Easy to redeem points? Interested in your opinions!! Thanks.

I just got mine, so haven't had time to accrue any points. It's through Barclay's Bank. I'm going to pay off our July cruise with it to start racking up the double points. Don't know if f-mattox has one or not, I'm sure he'll let us know.

Rec'd my credit card, with my starting 5000 points I was able to get 50.00 spa gift card. My cruise isn't till March 17th, but I redeemed points and it nows shows on my cruise summary to be delivered on the 18th to my cabin. Make sure you pay off the card right away interest is 14.9.

yeah. I NEVER carry a balance on any credit card. And thats what I would prob use it for also....on board credits of some sort, cause it would take me 10 years+ to acquire enuff points to take a free cruise!!! Another question that i didnt see an answer to, is whether the points expire after a certain amount of time. We don't get to cruise as often as a lot of u on here do, so if they expire, it would be useless for me. (I knew I could count on u Penny for an answer )

According to the Terms and Conditions that I received, they expire after 5 years. You need to cruise at least once every 4.99 years. I have faith that you'll do that

I haven't actually signed up for one yet, but I don't see any reason not to.

I would love to have this VISA card but we can't as it's only for US people which is not fair. Everyone from around the world travel on these ships, so we all should be able to get points also.

Interesting that the card is only available in the US. Thanks for the input all, and your right Penny..I too have faith that we can cruise at LEAST every fifth yr!!! And that was my thought fmattox...couldn't see why NOT to sign up. Think I'm sold. Time to apply!
