Targeted credit card holders can earn $200 in statement credit during a limited-time promotion with Norwegian Cruise Lines.
Norwegian Cruise Lines Amex Offer
Here’s the offer I received: use your card to spend at least $1,000 across one or more eligible purchases on your eligible Amex card and receive a one-time $200 statement credit.
Purchases must be made at NCL.com or by calling 1-888-438-7114. Manual enrollment is required, terms apply, and the offer expires on April 13, 2025. You have any number of ways to trigger this offer.
- By making a new booking and spending at least $1,000
- If you have an existing booking, make a payment of $1,000 or even buy 2x$500 fully refundable onboard credits for a current booking (René does this all the time). The onboard credit is given back to you when you check-out.
- Items such as pre-paid shore excursions and drink packages should also trigger the credit — just make sure you buy them through NCL.com or the phone number provided.
Only my personal/consumer American Express-branded cards (i.e.,
The Platinum Card® from American Express and
American Express® Gold Card) received the offer.
Mrs. Carley is an authorized user of that card and has her own Amex account. She, too, was targeted, so we added it to her card. So, we can use one of my cards to pay $1,000 toward a cruise and one of hers for another $1,000 — and earn back $400!
Norwegian Cruise Lines Amex Offer Exclusions
The offer specifically excludes the following:
- purchases onboard
- Norwegian gift cards
- shore excursions
- transportation to and from the ship
Happy earning and sailing!

Chris, thanks for highlighting this deal! I received a similar offer on my AmEX Gold (personal) card – Spend $1,000+ get $250 back. I have a cruise booked in 2024 and went ahead and paid me pre-paid service charges which were just over $1k. The added benefit is that it locks in the $25pp/day amount. The past few years these seem to be going up annually.
@DLPTATL – Remember you can, when you pre-pay those with NCL like you did, you can request them back last day and then pay out cash to those you want to who took care of you on the cruise.
René – Good point on cashing out for tips. I’ve never done that before. I generally tip on top of the auto gratuities in cash for butlers, housekeepers, and any special dining/lounge staff. Per your previous suggestion in another post, I’m now thinking about bringing along small gifts for the team servicing our cabin.
@DLPTATL – Most times I just let it go but some sailings I almost never visit main dining (who spit tips) and specialty already have 18% built in so then I like to just tip cash directly to all who help me.
I only have the American Express® Green Card. Can I apply for another card to take advantage of this offer
Kind of a risky proposition, honestly. If you weren’t targeted on your Green Card, you might not be on a new card.
But if you’re itching to a get a new Amex Membership Rewards card, then maybe?
Between P2 and I, we have the Amex Platinum, Amex Gold, and 2 Amex Bonvoys. Didn’t get the offer. 🙁
