whiterose Posted August 29, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Just realized that the FCC I bought 4 years ago has expired. For various reasons we have not been able to cruise in the past few years - sob sob. What happens to my $100? Will Princess mail it back to me?

If you don't use it, you lose it, just like OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneharborlady Posted August 29, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Wow, I was definitely under the impression that they would return it to you, also that you could cancel anytime within that four years and have it refunded. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Your impression is right, It would be refunded!! The OP is outside the 4 years. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coiran Posted August 29, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2009 In order nto get it refunded tou have to use it or cancel it before the end of the four year period. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leavitt1 Posted August 29, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I, too, was told when I purchased mine that, if it didn't get used in the four years, it would be refunded. I believe the words she used were, "No risk." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterose Posted August 29, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Oh dear - I'm sorry now that I did not get it refunded but I kept hoping we would be able to cruise this year. I was hoping the $100 would be automatically refunded at the end of the 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted August 29, 2009 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2009 FCC's are fully refundable. But I was under the impression that you need to contact princess to take care of this as I don't think it's automatically refunded. I would check if your FCC is still showing up on your Circle Savings account (even though expired) and if it is call Princess ASAP and have the $100 refunded to your credit card.

Toto is correct. They are supposed to be refundable, even after they expire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickEk Posted August 29, 2009 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Then why the expiration date? To make you use them! :p:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palolake Posted August 29, 2009 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I have some older FCCs that do not say this at the bottom. The one I purchased in June of this year says "If you do not use your future cruise deposit in the allocated four years, it will automatically be refunded back in the form it was purchased." How long ago did it expire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberCityRebel Posted August 29, 2009 #13 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Here's a thought..... Call Princess and ask them to extend it for another four years. I have been told be a TA who sells mucho Princess that Princess will do this if asked.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterose Posted August 29, 2009 Author #14 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Thanks for all the suggestions. We will call Princess on Monday and see if we can get it extended. I'm deaf so hate using the phone but I'll get my husband to call - smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spender Nui Posted August 29, 2009 #16 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I was told 9 days ago on the CB that you will automatically get a refund upon expiration. I still think it would be A good idea to contact Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickEk Posted August 29, 2009 #20 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Credit Card....some people change cards to get a better rate etc. True... my FCC had been charged to a credit card that I no longer owned. They had to research it, but I eventually got a check in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sunluva7 Posted August 29, 2009 #22 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I am one of those people Princess designed the FCC program for - I thought I'd lose it, so just before it ran out I booked a cruise for a year from now.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toto2Kansas Posted August 29, 2009 #24 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I just read over my last FCC that was purchased in January 2009. Not a word on it about it being refunded automatically if not used in the 4 years before it expires. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
