redeeming VISA Pts

[hdbag4vr]

Hello: This must have been answered somewhere but I haven't been able to find the exact answer. So please bear with me.

Does one have to electronically redeem VISA points now? I have not redeemed any points since that has been an option. I really do not want to sign up as required now to use the system.. Can I still do it the old fashioned way with a phone call to VISA? And then apply the certificate afterwards? I really only have used the pts for OBC.

Thanks for your help directing me. JPK:confused:

I just called Bank of America and they redirected me to the RCI point redemption area. I did require a booking number in order to redeem. I redeemed for OBC and she said it would be on my account when I board. I just got my invoice and the points have been deducted. I'm disappointed that I don't receive any confirmation since I have no written proof that I redeemed, but I'm hoping for the best.

Great link, thanks.

My husband and I both signed up 2 weeks ago on the ship. He told me I could cancel his account and put his 10,000 points on mine, anyone ever do that yet? I'm sure it's not as easy as it seems, or is it. Someone told me at BOA, I can do it, but I'd have to use them in 30 days(?) So, I guess if that is the case, I'll do it right before our next cruise, (2-13)

Maybe I'm just thinking how the airlines won't let you combine points.

There is a glithch in the online redemption system that won't let you sign in. I had to call to redeem my points. I got a confirmation email as soon as I hung up the phone.

 

BofA is aware of the sign in problem and is working on it.
