18h agoCarnival Rewards: Status is now a two-year lease, not a lifetime asset. Spend accordingly.
The new Carnival Rewards program replaces the VIFP Club with a spend-based system that resets status every two years unless you requalify. Red, Gold, Platinum, Diamond tiers require $3,333, $16,667, and $33,333 in eligible spending per cycle, respectively. Diamond members from the old program keep lifetime status, but everyone else faces a hard expiration. Points earn about 1% back on spending, with dynamic pricing for redemptions. The transition period holds current status through Jan 1, 2029, but after that, only your wallet keeps you in the lounge.
the play
Calculate your annual Carnival spend now and plan to hit the Star thresholds every two years, or accept a status downgrade when the transition period ends.
