Thanks to everyone who had provided suggestions and guidance on submitting the share ownership statement via Stockperks. I checked yesterday online my Princess account and saw the $250 OBC under shareholder benefit for my 2025 cruise. It was a great. I don't think the OBC approval was as a result of the statement submission via the stockperks app. After the submission, stockperks acknowledged receipt of the statement and indicated it would notify me when ownership is confirmed. I never received any further notification from stockperks on any approval or confirmation. A few days before I provided the statement photo to stockperks, I had, as I always did in the past many years, (1) e-mailed the shareholder benefit form and the share ownership statement directly to Princess cruises, and (2) faxed Princess directly the required document as well. Princess rejected my e-mail request and directed me to use the stockperks to apply. I did not receive any rejection notification from Princess to my faxed application. As such, it made me believe that Princess may, depending on the individual who handle the case, assisted and granted the OBC to my cruise booking (which save me the hassle of going through the stockperks). One of my relatives, who applied for the OBC via e-mail a few weeks ago, received the shareholder benefit OBC on a cruise we will be on in Apr. A lot has changed since the pandemic. Some changes were good and some were not so good for the seniors. I understand and acknowledge the fact that we need to catch up to the hi-tech especially for those process which can save manpower and time. However, I wish CCL would consider that it can be a burden and inconvenience to the seniors to learn how to use the app ... etc. Some may not have a friend or relative to help them how to use the app.

Great. It's comfort to know the app works. I will have to learn how to apply it towards the upcoming cruises. Thanks.

Thank you very much for your prompt response and suggestion. I signed in the stockperks app, took a pic of the investment firm statement where the CCL shares are shown and uploaded it into the app. I received an e-mail from stockperks right away acknowledging receipt of the statement. I appreciated your help.

It's my understanding that the stockperks app requires the applicant (shareholder) to provide information on his/her investment account and give a blank permission for "stockperks" to access the shareholder's account (without limitation). If such permission is given to stockperks, can stockperks access and obtain all my financial information in my account? If so, would this be a violation of the privacy act? I tried contacting the Carnival Corp & plc regarding the subject matter. I haven't received any response. When I applied for the shareholder benefit with Princess Cruises, I was instructed to use the stockperks app. Can someone enlighten me on whether the stockperks requirement is legal and how to protect our investment account data? Thank you.
