Heytray41 Posted March 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Good Morning!! I will be cruising on Harmony of the Seas in May and am wondering if anyone knows if OBC from a Royal Caribbean Visa (Bank of America) is able to be applied prior to cruising? I am calling them today to redeem my points and have to decide how to apply it. I see the OBC that I received directly from Royal is available in my planner. Thanks for any help.

Traci If you are asking if VIsa points OBC can be spent using the Cruise Planner, the answer is currently no. Maybe it will change before your cruise, but right now only OBC directly from Royal can be spent prior to the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same thing we redeemed VISA OBC rewards about a week ago, it's now showing up for pre cruise purchases.

Quinlan00 Posted March 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It's changed recently. The Visa OBC will show up for pre purchases. Mine did just a few days ago when I redeemed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truluv Posted March 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I just redeemed points, and they were available immediately as a OBC at the RCL site. I applied them to Voom, so that's one more thing off my checklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heytray41 Posted March 19, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted March 19, 2017 WOO HOO!!! Thanks so much for the info! I was hoping it would show up in my account prior to cruising. I'm pretty sure the OBC from my travel agent will on show up on my account once I am on the cruise, probably day two. Thank you all for your responses!!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk How far in advance should we redeem for OBC? I am waiting now for my Visa to arrive. We plan to pay for the cruise with it in order to earn extra OBC. So obviously I'll wait to redeem until after our final payment. But I'm wondering how long it takes from redeeming to availability? I'm hoping to use the OBC on excursions and/or Voom, which I'll do as soon as I can (90 days out right?) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closer than 2 weeks they recommend you call to redeem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
