Celebrity Cruises’ Blue Chip Club awards slot tier points based on coin-in , not on how much you win or lose. For reel slots, the commonly reported rate in 2026 is 1 point for every $5 played ; for video poker, it is 1 point for every $10 played.

How it works

  • You generally need to use your SeaPass card while playing so the casino can track your action.
  • The system counts your wagering volume, so a short session with lots of repeat bets can earn points faster than a slow session with the same total spend.
  • Tier credits and reward points are tied to casino play, but tier credits determine status while reward points are the redeemable currency.

Slot play example

If you wager $100 on reel slots, that is typically about 20 points under the $5-per-point structure.

Important caveat

Celebrity’s official Blue Chip Club page confirms that points and tier credits are earned from play, but it does not spell out every machine type in the short snippet available here, so the clearest slot-specific rates come from current program guides and 2025–2026 coverage.

Play type Typical 2026 earning rate
Reel slots 1 point per $5 played
Video poker 1 point per $10 played

Program timing

Blue Chip Club now runs on a 12-month cycle from August 1 through July 31 , and tier credits reset at the start of the new program year.

TL;DR: For 2026, Celebrity Blue Chip Club slot points are generally earned by wagering volume, with the usual reported rate at 1 point per $5 on slots and 1 point per $10 on video poker.
