Royal Caribbean Visa Card entices you with their promises of free cruises, onboard credits, upgrades etc.but nowhere on their website does it tell how to go about collecting these rewards that you have earned. When I decided to book my cruise last month I called Royal Caribbean and asked if I could use some of my reward points. At first they told me that I could do this thru my travel agent then they said rules had changed and I couldn't do that anymore and they seemed uncertain just how these points could be redeemed.

We decided to just book our cruise with our travel agent and try to use part of our rewards as an onboard credit. We called Bank of America and were told that because our cruise was in the middle of April they would not have time to send us the coupon - have us fill it out - return it to them and have them send it to Royal Caribbean. This can't be done in 6 weeks ???? They said not. I asked how long it takes and they said that it would take a couple of months at least. Fax...

MacGyver says "Former MBNA now Bank of America" about Bank of America - Royal Caribbean Platinum Plus Visa Card

I have what they call the Royal Caribbean Platinum Plus issued thru MBNA 3 years ago. Great perks such as On Board Credits on every cruise for the points you earn. $50 for every 5000 points. Any purchases from Royal Caribbeans (deposit on a cruise, final payment on a cruise, onboard charges while on a cruise, any purchases from their web site) get double points.

Very happy with the card til I bought a clothes dryer & learned that there is no additional year warranty issued with the card. In fact hardly any perks besides the OBC. Even the upgrades are double the points with B of A. Then I also learn that the rewrds are based on 1%. 5000 points = $50 OBC.

Then April of 2007 the owner Al Lerner, who also owned the Cleveland Browns & built the beautiful lakefront stadium, dies & his son sells dad's company to Bank of America so he could buy a London soccer team.

So January we get a notice that B of A is now the owner of our card. They term the phone reps as Account Managers. My billing date...
