What method did you use to apply for the OBC?  Email or did you use the online form?

 I used the online form.   To me easier to  do multiple requests at one time.

I agree.  I apply for shareholder OBC as soon as I book a cruise.  It's always been approved within a few days.

Can you attach the trade confirmation, or do you have to wait for the monthly statement. TIA!

I’ve attached my trade confirmation once in the past and received my OBC.

Scan and attach the page from a recent monthly brokerage statement that notes your holdings.

Just had my next confirmation returned on a Saturday, 48 hour turn-around.

I apply for cruises as far out as 2 years.   They apply it and never ask to re-submit.   Since I don't actively trade in the account that holds my share I only get a quarterly statement.    I usually submit for all bookings right after I get a fresh statement.

 

I'm sure confident  purchase  confirmation will work.

Used online submission, sent in request on Thursday along with my June 30 investment statement. On Sunday, I received confirmation of SHC for all 6 of our cruises, starting October 2024 on Millennium, through to B2B Transatlantic on Odyssey October 2025. 3 day turnaround including Saturday and Sunday.

I just submitted my info online.  Wow, was that easy!

 

I fully expect to be denied for my sailings due to being casino offers, but you never know. It's 100% no if you don't ask!

I'm pleased, and rather surprised, to report that at 2:40 am this morning, I received two emails.  One confirming $50 OBC for my 5-night Reflection sailing; the other confirming $100 OBC for my 6-night Beyond sailing.

 

I really didn't expect them to be approved.  I only paid to the discounted 2nd person fare (my fare was free).  But I'll certainly take it.  As I said, you never know!

 

I do not see the OBC added in My Planner.  Even it if shows up later, I'll print the em confirmations.  I hate having to print things and carry them when traveling, but I just know the one time I don't take "evidence" of something is the time there will be no record of it when I board.

We always take paper copies of everything - cruise invoice, OBC approval, Select Dining bookings (at least for the first night) Set Sail Pass, etc.

I use to do the same but now once it shows up on reservation I don' worry. 

 

As a backup I have all my e-mails backed up going back over 20 years.   Do to work life before I retired,  I wasn't permitted to delete e-mail due to various court litigation.  I was the one that prepped the weekly / monthly data points for the President and Board.  During many cases I couldn't even toss paper, notes etc as work product.

 

I'm so glad I' retired... Now I'm just discorganize....lol  Just ask Iain.

My experience over the past 2+ years reflects yours Jim_lain.  I used to email or fax with mixed results.  Using the onl\ine form has resulted in 100% success,

I'm a CPA (sadly, still working part-time at age 71 to pay for trips mostly, but also because I was a single mother and got a late start on retirement funding), so I'm still all about having backup documentation for everything.  For some reason, emails that I have in separate folders on my computer don't show up on my phone, and I have a separate email folder for every cruise going back about 15 years (so there are quite a few).  That's why I print the essential docs.

 

But I'm perfectly happy submitting the info online.  That was a breeze!
