Shareholder Benefit

Up by nearly £1 so far today. There seems to be little rhyme nor reason in the ups and downs.

There’s very little logic anywhere in world stock markets at the moment.  All driven by sentiment, people looking for a home for money earning practically no interest, and a belief that markets only ever rise.

A quick question for other shareholders.

I bought enough shares to get the benefit on board. I used eToro - and I'm finding it impossible to find a page/document that gives all the required info to send on to Carnival for them to implement the on board extras. I've emailed eToro a few times, but whatever they come back with still doesn't seem to be right to fit the criteria Carnival would want.

Who did you guys use to buy your Carnival shares? 
Anyone used eToro and know where I can find the correct info?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Do you not get some sort of statement showing your various shareholdings? If you print that off, redact everything that is not Carnival related, that should be sufficient

Not that lists Carnival specifically.  At least not that I've been able to find!

I am not familiar with eToro but I assume your shares are held in a nominee account as apposed to a share certificate.
My shares are held in a nominee account but with a different company. All I do is to log on to my account and take a screen print of my holdings. This needs to show the date, your name and the number of Carnival shares held. I blank out any non relevant information. I then email this to Carnival in Southampton.

If Carnival is not listed, then do you actually own them.

As Brian says, surely you must have access to some sort of information that shows you what your holdings are?

You should be able to access your account with eToro  like I can with HL, I just down load my statement from their website as shown, cross out the account number, leaving my name   and attach to the email I send to Cunard.

I do similar, but have my shares with a Halifax Share Dealing account.

[ann141]

I am with HL and just phone them up and they let P and O or Princess know that I hold enough shares for OBC

[reef112]

So, with eToro, I can go to "My Portfolio" and is shows the number of Carnival shares I have, but it doesn't show my name etc on that page. 

If I download a statement from my account then here's what it shows:

 

Another page in the document shows my details. 

But as you see, it doesn't show the number of shares I own with that transaction.

It seems strange. Surely there must be somewhere that shows your current holdings.

I don’t understand what the 2437.66 figure is. Is this American dollars? If so, have you purchased Carnival USA shares (Carnival corporation) rather than Carnival UK (Carnival PLC) shares. In March Carnival PLC shares were around £1600 for 100 shares.

The share price today is Carnival PLC £16.81, Carnival corporation $28

It's very odd - I put the money in in £, the CLL.L buy and sell prices are in GBP, but all other numbers show as USD.

Here's the view in my portfolio page - Buy my details aren't shown anywhere on that page.
I have 205.25 shares. 

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one  confused.

[BrianI]

You only need 100 shares. Buying more shares does not give any more benefit as there is only one shareholder benefit per cabin.

I just phone Hargreaves Lansdowne who hold our shares and they phone P and O or Princess or Cunard and OBC is added.

Rather do it myself, only takes a few seconds to download and send the email .  I know it's done then,  rather than involving a third person.

Do you not have a full breakdown page showing all your investments?

Agreed, that’s what I do.

[majortom10]

Simple for me having a share certificate I just contact P&O by e-mail give them my reservation number, share certificate number and full name and address.

Not that I can find anywhere, nor have eToro been able to help me when I've asked.

But sentiment and future prospects are what always drives the stock market, and of course the future is anyone's guess.

[reef112]

Well rather than the potential problems with eToro, I've swapped to HL! Sorted now.

[wowzz]

After the scandalous way HL were promoting Woodford funds, when the funds were basically broke, and making millions in the process, I'm surprised that anyone still uses them.

Agree entirely with above. Make sure the date and your name is clear on your screenshot and make sure that you score out (redact!) your share account details.

hi do you get the extra obs  on a saver fare or do you have to book a select fare to get it? cheers
