Looks like Carnival Cruise Lines is doing away with the SeaMiles card. Here is the press release announcing Carnival’s choice to not renew the agreement.
SeaMiles-Press Release
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – July 20, 2009) – SeaMiles Limited (the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:SEE), North America’s premier cruise loyalty provider, announced today that Carnival Cruise Lines (“Carnival”) has informed the Company that it does not wish to renew the co-branded credit card agreement dated November 24, 2004 (the “Agreement”) between the Company, Carnival and Barclays Bank Delaware upon the expiry of the Agreement in December, 2009. The Company and Carnival are discussing how the companies can continue to work together as our agreement expires May 2010. At the same time, the Company intends to continue to pursue and develop opportunities through its existing program with Chase involving the SeaMiles Visa Rewards Card.

This announcement obviously brings questions to mind for those who carry the SeaMiles card. What happens to those of us currently have accrued miles. Will these points carry over to the next card, or do they need to be redeemed as soon as possible. Luckily, the agreement doesn’t actually end until May, 2010 so that gives us time to figure out our next step. In the meantime I will see what I can do to get some answers.
