i can not find any information about this on carnival corporation website about this

 

it seems all this app does it collects your info and then forwards it to carnival, kind of like a middle man

I just received the new request in my email, after I had emailed my request in on Sunday.

I just downloaded the app, and submitted my stock statement.  It said that I should have a response within 2 days with the next steps.

If I might ask, how did you learn about this StockPerks app?

After requesting shareholder obc from Carnival by email they replied with instruction link. 

[KKB]

I downloaded the app Weds eve & sent our etrade screenshots (just used "Fidelity" option).

Thurs AM they already emailed me as they needed 1 more screenshot...of course Etrade is being fussy & not letting me back in; need to call.

But I am impressed with their promptness!

[jangor]

I sent my usual request by Fax.  After 10 days of not receiving credit, I called and was given e-mail for customer support and was told to use www.stockperks.com/carnivalcorp in the future.  

 

Waiting to see what happens.  MJ

I signed up for stock perks on Friday, got my confirmation from them on Saturday, filled out my request with Carnival and was already approved for my credit on Monday. Easy as can be!

I'm confused - if pax are being directed to StockPerks, what request are you sending to Carnival?

Stockperks just simply confirms that you are a stockholder. Once that is done you fill out the request for a specific cruise with carnival.

So we still email as usual, just including whatever we get back from StockPerks?

Once Stockperks verifies, just go to the app and select carnival, then follow the prompts.

The Carnival Shareholder benefit form doesn't mention this as of now on their website. 

[sweetp12]

I just did this two days ago, and the credit was loaded within 48 hours of starting the process.  It was easy to do on the app, and I just took a photo of my screen showing my stock holdings and this was verified overnight, and the money was loaded a few hours later.

[westbaysheri]

I downloaded the stick work app and opened an account but can’t get in 

[wardwhitty]

My institution is not on the Plaid platform yet.  So do we just email like normal then ?

[VentureMan_2000]

hoping this somehow makes applying easier... all the redacting of my portfolio documents is a pain.

I asked someone who had submitted & rec'd the OBC using this new process about redacting & they said they did still redact all the usual personal info.

"This benefit is non-transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash and cannot be used for casino credits/charges and gratuities charged to your onboard account."

 

Is the part about gratuities new?  On our cruises the Stockholder OBC was applied to gratuities as well.

[lostsoulcruiser]

A couple of questions/concerns:

1. How does Stockperks protect your stock account privacy, in particular the account number you were able to black out when requesting your OBC via the fax or email?
2. Did Carnival change the on-board accounting system to be able to target stockholder OBC for certain charges and not others?  Sounds like it and does that show up when you check your account on the ship during a cruise?
3. Does the stockholder OBC change also apply to a booking OBC?

Thanks for the replies.

[ledges1]

I used the app for the first time this week.

1. I downloaded the app.  A few glitches but did get it to download.

2. Opened app and it requires you to open an account.

3. Opened and account, a few glitches again, but it opened.

4. Once in the new account, it ask you to upload a copy of your statement, it also allows you to take a picture and upload while the account is open.

5. Took a statement and redacted the other holdings, amounts, account #, addresses, etc. I did this when I mailed before.

6. took picture and uploaded and sent to Stockperks.

7. Received confirm that they would be back to be in to 2 days.

8. Received email telling me to open Stockperks account and complete cruise information.

9. Opened account and entered Carnival cruise confirm #, date of cruise, ship name, etc. and hit enter.

10. Received confirm email stating they would be back in touch.

11. Received confirm stating that I had received my $100 OBC for my 7 day cruise.

I downloaded and used Stockperks this week. Once I had the app I simply allowed it to "pair" with my Robinhood app and entered info for 2 upcoming sailings. It took 2 days but I received an email for each sail date saying it was approved and the credits are both on my Carnival booking details. I understand the security concerns but I have all of my high dollar investments (IRA and 401K) with other brokers. I use the Robinhood account to "play" a little bit and that is where I hold my Carnival shares. 

[n6uqqq]

There is some good reading in the Princess forum about this. You don't need to divulge all the info the app asks for. Just what we all need is another app to clutter on our phones ! I will use and delete as necessary. Apps can lead to info being stolen if they are compromised.

It would still be prudent to redact with this new app. Give them minimal info to be safe. 

[Number12]

I don't get what the benefit is of downloading another app.  I just submitted my request via email and received credit in about 3 days.
