Barclays and Carnival Renew Credit Card Partnership Agreement

Barclays and Carnival have announced today that the two companies have extended their credit card partnership agreement.

Since 2004, Barclays has been the exclusive issuer of Carnival’s travel rewards credit card program in the United States. The suite of credit card products offers an array of rewards and benefits to cardmembers for Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line and Princess Cruise Lines. Barclays and Carnival will continue to collaborate on innovative solutions that reward customers for their loyalty whether booking vacations, shopping in a retail store or online.

The portfolio contains three credit cards, with welcome bonuses as high as 20,000 points. All three cards have no annual fees, but none of them is an exciting product in my opinion.

• • Earn 20,000 FunPoints after your first purchase or balance transfer
  • Get a 10% Statement Credit on a Carnival shore excursion
  • Earn 2X points on purchases with Carnival and the World’s Leading Cruise Lines
  • No Annual Fee

Holland America Line Rewards Visa® Card

• • Earn 5,000 points after first purchase
  • 2X points per $1 spent on all Holland America purchases including onboard purchases
  • No Annual Fee

Princess Cruises® Rewards Visa® Card

• • Earn 10,000 bonus points after you use your card for the first time
  • Earn 2 points per $1 spent on all Princess purchases
  • No Annual Fee
