New Princess Cruises Rewards Visa
Princess Cruises and Barclays announced a new co-branded rewards card: the Princess Rewards Visa Signature card. The card has no annual fee, and launches the new ‘Princess Points’ program that promises one point for every dollar spent on everyday purchases, and two points for every dollar spent on Princess purchases.
Starting at 2,000 points, card holders can enjoy discounted Princess merchandise, discounted air travel, cruise discounts, spa credits, champagne, and onboard credits. Princess also offers free cruises, starting at 150,000 points (no blackout dates or capacity limits).
Lloyd M. Wirshba, CEO of Barclays U.S. credit card business, said, “Working closely with Princess, we customized a credit card program that would help cruise enthusiasts earn reward travel and other amenities faster, thus making everyday purchases with the card almost as rewarding as the cruise itself.”
Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises’ senior vice-president, said that passengers have been asking for this type of credit card for a long time. Princess will start taking card applications on December 10th.

I am a platinum captain’s circle member and was told that there is a special pre-approved Visa card that will give me $200.00 in shipboard credit which is different from the regular Visa application card. It may have been mailed to me but I never received it. My traveling buddies received one. I have spoken to Barclay Visa and Princess customer service and they conducted me to the normal visa application form. This does not give me the ship board credit that I was looking for. Could you help me find the pre approved application form?
Regardless of the outcome I will be sailing on Princess in the spring and will continue to do so.
Sincerely
Gary Kava
