Carnival CHANGED Its Loyalty Program. Here’s What YOU NEED to Do About It!
Carnival Rewards has completely changed how Carnival Cruise Line loyalty works. In this Carnival Rewards strategy, I break down Points, Status Qualifying Stars, the Carnival Rewards Mastercard, casino play, and what I’d do to maximize my rewards and status. Carnival Rewards isn't just about how often you cruise anymore. How you spend—and where you spend—can now affect both the rewards you can redeem and your progress toward Carnival loyalty status. In this video, we'll break down the difference between Carnival Rewards Points and Status Qualifying Stars, how eligible Carnival purchases earn rewards, where the Carnival Rewards Mastercard fits into the strategy, the $2,000 cardmember threshold, and how everyday spending could help you work toward Carnival status. Casino players also need to pay attention. We'll look at how casino points can earn Carnival Rewards Points and Status Qualifying Stars, how Players Club offers remain separate, and the BIG unanswered question we're watching involving casino play, Sail & Sign and the Carnival Rewards Mastercard. Most importantly, I'll show you how I would actually approach the new Carnival Rewards program instead of simply explaining how it works.
