Casino question

[hugger]

I was just on the HAL website and noticed that you are able to buy casino chips in 10.00 increments.

Which made me think -

1. Is there any additional surcharge to buy these??? - they are listed under the Collector's Gifts on HAL

2. We don't get credit towards our Mariner points for dollars spent at the BlackJack tables in the casino now? So we wouldn't be loosing those points.

3. If we put this on our HAL charge card and buy them to have them available to use onboard - do we get the double points with out a surcharge on the HAL credit card?

4. Then we also don't have to carry as much cash onboard with us - hum

 

Have any of the casino table player's ever done this?

 

Would appreciate your input - THANKS

Yes, you get double points if purchased with your HAL CC. No additional surcharge of any kind.

If you guarantee your shipboard account with your HAL CC you can access cash from the slots with your card at no charge and use that cash, after one spin - you have to spin at least once, and it will also get double points on your card.

We are Club 21 casino members and do this all the time.

Kakalina for sharing your experience with us.

We just this past few months FINALLY got the HAL Credit Card. Should have done this year's ago.

 

 

We have tried for year's to get rated in the casino. We are member's of Ocean Player's club - just requested and had sent a statement showing his play. It still reads zero even after last year when the casino host expressly said he was rating him. My DH plays every night and some day's when we cruise. That is something he truly enjoy's about cruising.

I thought this way we could at least get Some points :-)

 

Have you used the pre purchased chips you can buy on the website too?

 

Or, did you use this work around for cash to use in the casino?
