Celebrity Cruises Signature Visa (BofA)
Did a search and can't find anything here on this card. Bonus is 25,000 points, which are good for $250 on board credit. Must spend $1000 within 90 days. Since there is no annual fee, I thought, why not (I have an upcoming planned expense of over $1000)? Does anyone have any experience?

No experience, but $250 to be used for on board credit doesn’t seem like an awesome bonus.
And the earnings structure isn’t very good either. 1 point per dollar spent, 2 points for Celebrity/Royal Caribbean spend.

What’s your normal monthly spend on credit cards? Let’s say it’s $3k. Why is that one $1000 charge anything special in your consideration of whether to get a new card when you could put your regular ongoing spend on a new card and earn a higher reward than when you put it on an existing card?

As a personal card, which many of us limit to 4/24 to stay in Chase’s (approval) good graces, it should have a SUB and/or ongoing earnings and/or benefits which are far better than average.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I was approved for the card. After I get the bonus, I'll probably only use it to pay for cruises and for onboard expenses.

BTW, when you get the $250 OBC, it should be refundable at the end of the cruise if you do not spend it all. Don't blow it on stuff you don't need
