Our review of the Carnival® World Mastercard®
If you’re a frequent cruiser looking to save on your next Carnival® cruise, the Carnival® World Mastercard® could be the card for you. With a $250 statement credit after spending $500 in the first 90 days, this card offers immediate savings.
Earn FunPoints on everyday purchases, which can be redeemed for future cruise bookings, onboard experiences, travel with partnered airlines and hotels, or gift cards. Carnival and partner cruise line purchases earn 2X FunPoints, while all other purchases earn 1X FunPoints.
While earning points can be challenging due to limited reward categories, the Carnival® World Mastercard® offers a 10% statement credit for booking Carnival shore excursions. Points expire after five years and require a minimum redemption of 5,000 FunPoints.
The value of FunPoints varies depending on how you choose to redeem them, with the most value obtained when used directly with Carnival Cruise Lines. The card also offers a 0% intro APR on Carnival cruise bookings for the first 6 months and 15 months on balance transfers, with the opportunity to earn 1 FunPoint per dollar on transfers up to $5000.
Overall, the Carnival® World Mastercard® is best suited for those who frequently book Carnival cruises and can take advantage of the specific rewards it offers. If you’re not a regular cruiser, this card may not be the best choice for earning rewards.
