Like mondello said, if you wait until 100,000 points it is a $1,500 credit, or 1.5%. If you redeem under that, it is only 1% (i.e. 10,000 points=$100). Since you have the points you obviously want to use them, but for future reference there are much better cards out there. Citi offers a card that is 2% cash back for everything.
Exactly what we do. And if you are applying points against eligible purchases of $1500 or more, the redemption rate is 1.5% instead of the usual 1%. For this reason, we try to make sure we don't charge any Carnival purchase less than $1500. This means that we don't pre-purchase excursions, drink packages, etc.
July 31, 2007. #11. Posted January 6, 2023. You will only get $1.5 per point if you use it to pay for a Carnival cruise with a minimum of $1,500. You can apply funpoints towards Holland America but you only get $1 per point. There is a calculator on the Barclays app that you can use as a guide for redemption planning.
I had read several posts indicating that the new points were better and boy are they. They even have a calculator which will tell you how many points you need to pay for your cruise. Quite simply the rate is 59.88 points for every $1 of your cruise. For instance if I wanted to book a $2500 cruise, it would cost me 149,701 points.
There are a few options to look at. The basic concept is about $1.00 per point. 10,000 points = $100.00. You want to look for things that relate to that equivalent or HIGHER. Generally, I redeem points for a statement credit and then use that credit for more carnival purchases to re-earn double points.
• Starting on March 1, 2012, all eligible Carnival transactions of $1,500 or more may be redeemed at the highest cash back redemption value of 1.5%, whether you are paying yourself back in full or redeeming “FunPoints” to cover a portion of your eligible Carnival transaction.
As an example, use your card for your Sail and Sign purchases - (get double points for that charge) - and then redeem points for statement credit. That way, 10,000 points will get you $100 statement credit plus earn 200 more points rather than using 12,500 points for $100 obc.
No the points are for what you charge on your Barclay mastercard. So if you found a deal thru travel agent xyz and it cost $1537.00 for two of you...you would be charged only 92036 points total...if you found that same cruise thru Carnival's website for $1537.00 you would still only have to redeem 92036 points for the cruise..you get a much better "rate of return"..ie points charged for a ...
In the end it all goes through as a single CARNIVAL CHARGE & receive 2x the points. (No casino cash advances, no fees) Pay the bill after the charge goes through or cash in the points you just got towards a payment. You get the most value per point redemption towards your Carnival or Carnival brand purchases 5,000=$50. 10,000-$100. 15,000=$150
