JF - retired RRT Posted August 24, 2017 #51 Share Posted August 24, 2017 ThanksI sent in an outdated form early this week and so far it hasn't been added to my cruise so will try again today with the 2017/2018 form. (I'm used to it being applied within 2 days or so and have found that if it isn't, it's been lost) Just call and ask them to look for it. You need the fax # you used to send it and the date/time sent. I've used the form exactly once...the first time I sent in for the OBC. After that I just write the required info on my "proof" and fax it in. Never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggprincess2004 Posted August 24, 2017 #52 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I just sent off a fax yesterday, not using the form, but requesting the shareholder's credit on 3 bookings, b2b2b. I always include: my name Booking Number Ship Name Sailing Date Voyage Number phone number email Separate page - brokerage statement or other proof of share ownership All of the above items are requested on the form itself, and as long as you give them that info, they should easily be able to process your request. The credits were posted in less than half an hour yesterday. The form is not necessary, but complete info is really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I faxed in the 2017/2018 form yesterday with everything you mentioned above except the voyage number on it. Still no credits. I know it's really soon but I may give them a call this afternoon since everyone seems to get the credits immediately. Do I just call the regular Princess number?

dreaminofcruisin Posted August 25, 2017 #55 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It seems so many people post with issues with it getting added to their account after faxing. I have never been fond of fax machines as you never know if people are actually 'picking up' the fax. Old technology..... So, I always use even older 'technology'.....snail mail. ;) I mailed mine and it was on my account within a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Booking Number is sufficient to identify yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easyrider949 Posted August 25, 2017 #57 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I just created my own form in excel and send it in with my supporting broker statements. It works great. Also, this allows me to keep an electronic historical version for safe keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metairiegal Posted September 5, 2017 #59 Share Posted September 5, 2017 And the current Shareholder Benefit Request Form which also explains how to apply for a Princess cruise. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=409530&d=1501699350 Thanks! I've been looking all over for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted September 5, 2017 #60 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Never have submitted a form. Just have put all the information required in a letter and faxed or emailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted September 5, 2017 #61 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Never have submitted a form. Just have put all the information required in a letter and faxed or emailed. As has been repeatedly stated it's not required to use the form although not everyone is like you who submits a request with all of the necessary information. That's why Princess created the form to ensure receiving complete requests. If not, that slows down the process of issuing the credit by requiring Booking Support to contact passengers for additional information which slows down the process for everyone. Another benefit of the form is that it answers the regularly repeated questions about the benefits & procedure to get our Shareholder credit issued. A couple of years ago they eliminated showing an email address...have you done it recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you fax it in make sure you do it right side up. Otherwise you'll be wondering why you've done it three times and haven't received any credit. :o:o:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird2252 Posted October 12, 2017 #64 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Does anyone have the Princess C.L. email address to take advantage of the Carnival Corporation Shareholder Benefit Request Form? Plan to send docs by attachment. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it last week (as recommended on another thread). It's very simple to use and lets you know when your send has been successful. I got a send receipt within a few minutes after I sent it last weekend and the OBC was posted to my account by mid-day on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie3fan Posted October 12, 2017 #67 Share Posted October 12, 2017 FaxZero worked great for me as well! It lets you generate a cover page, and then attach up to 3 pages for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillinmn Posted October 13, 2017 #68 Share Posted October 13, 2017 This is frustrating to say the least. I called Princess directly and was given an email address to send my shareholder OBC. It was rejected as a bad email address. I called again and was told that the request can only be faxed or mailed in. She sent me a form; I hope it is not an expired form. I don't know why they can't accept an email request. That is how it works when I book cruises on Carnival. sigh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In post #65 there's a link to the current application form which contains the procedure. They'll accept requests using expired forms or no form at all by providing the necessary information.

GrannyR Posted October 16, 2017 #75 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) A pdf file from the Carnival corp website is attached. Why the h**l is it so hard to find this form? :mad: It is not on their website--only that there is a cruise benefit, not the form itself. I looked on Google for 30 minutes until I saw it mentioned in a CruiseCIMG_20171016_0001.pdf Edited October 16, 2017 by GrannyR wrong attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
