mcrcruiser Posted March 4 #1 Share Posted March 4 Seems that the the $16s price range will soon be left behind as cruise bookings keep increasing .What are your thoughts ? For those who do not know ,owning 100 shares of CCL will get you extra on board credits as follows Cruise length : 1 to 7 days = $50 on board credit 7 to 13 days = $100 on board creit 14 days & more = $250 on board credit The request is now through Stockperks /Carnival .you need your booking number ,Ship name & Sail daye to get the on board credit applied to your sailing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajakiter Posted March 4 #2 Share Posted March 4 Just downloaded the Stockperks app yesterday. Filled in some of the requested info but not all. Some were just a bit too intrusive. Did send an image of the Investment account showing CCL etc. Waiting to hear back in a few days. Two cruises, $250 for each cruise is a nice little bonus.

All you need to do is send a copy of your brokerage statement proving you own stock to Stockperks. You can block out most of the personal and identifying info. There has been a couple of very detailed threads on the topic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did mine a few weeks ago I to waited a day or two expecting another email telling me it's been approved. Got nothing so went on the app and it was approved. Put in my cruise booking info and did get an email in a couple of hours telling me the OBC was applied to my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vms Posted March 5 #5 Share Posted March 5 My brokerage account address is different than my mailing address. Is that going to cause issues? Bought my 100 shares during the pandemic and my upcoming fall cruise will be my first time trying to use the shareholder benefit. Also any ideas of when we will know about if the benefit will be continued for fall 2024 cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted March 5 #6 Share Posted March 5 Sounds like something to discuss with a financial advisor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also any ideas of when we will know about if the benefit will be continued for fall 2024 cruises? Our September quarterly stock statement had our old address on it (we closed on the new house in October), while our mailing and HAL address had been changed when we filed for the benefit in November. SHB did not go through! Our financial advisor had the genius idea to change our address in the system and then buy 5 more shares of stock to force the account to print out a new statement. This is why I don't understand how people are whiting out their address on the statement (which I also did and got rejected). They did want to see and cross-confirm my address! I believe the Carnival board meeting is mid or late April, but open to correction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already corrected! by CC'er @Alphen who posted tonight with a link. The SHB is approved through the end of the year. (Only six months at a time? Waah, I need it through Feb'25!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vms Posted March 5 #9 Share Posted March 5 Thank you @crystalspin I'm going to try the Stockperks way and if there's an issue, I'll call my broker about changing my address. I get a monthly statement, so I should have plenty of time before my September cruise to get it figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare foodsvcmgr Posted March 5 #11 Share Posted March 5 I thought the idea was to blank out your brokerage account number, not your address. The cruise line has your address anyway and the stock credit would need it as an identifier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your address should be blacked out, having a current address on the form may be a reason to reject it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeler808 Posted March 6 #13 Share Posted March 6 I applied for the SHB via the old email addy (CCLshareholderHAL) as that was the process I found when I googled it. That was February 23. I blocked out my home address as that was in the instructions I found and they approved it stating that I would have to go through stockperks in the future. So if you really are having a problem with stockperks due to your home address being different you MIGHT get lucky by blocking it out and submitting the request to the old email. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Received emails confirming the $250 shareholder credit for both cruises. Submitted Sunday, completed Tuesday. Much faster than the old system. Cruise starts April 7, so 4 weeks away.

"Download the Stockperks app today and create your profile. Then visit the Carnival profile and select the cruise line you're sailing on to confirm eligibility and claim your onboard credit!"

Any ideas? I signed up for the shareholder benefit through the app tonight. When I tried it last month, I did NOT try it because I thought that the app required me to enter my passwords for my brokerage account. This time, all I had to do was to take a photo of my latest brokerage statement showing that I owned Carnival Corp. stock. It took all of about 10 minutes total and was quite easy.

Weird as I submitted to the old email on 02/23 and got a reply on 02/25 with an approval and advisement to use the stockperks in the future. But seems like most haven't had much trouble with getting their SHB approved. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_Dieterich Posted March 8 #20 Share Posted March 8 Did the stockperks. Took 3 days to prove I had the stock, I have fidelity so requires a screen shot and human processing. then under a day from the submission of request to having the email saying it was approved.

donandmelissa Posted March 8 #21 Share Posted March 8 FWIW, I did not even try to use stockperks and had zero problems getting my OBC. I sent an email to World_Cruise_Reservations@hollandamerica.com and attached my brokerage statement along with my booking #, passenger names, ship and sail date. Four days later I received an email indicating that my $250 OBC was approved and would be credited to my account upon embarkation. There was no mention of stockperks at all. Your mileage my vary, but this was what worked for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
