wolfie789 Posted July 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hello Cunarders. We have a TA upcoming in December. Even though we've never done so before, keeping an eye on the USD/GBP exchange rate we are wondering if buying OBC in advance might be a good idea. You used to be able to do this - does anyone know if you still can before you sail? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted July 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Yes you can, from the Cunard website - "You can purchase up to a maximum amount of $1000pp USD ($1000pp per sector for World Cruise voyages) of gift credit (also known as on board spending money)." It's not refundable though so don't forget to spend it all ! It used to be possible to buy OBC at advantageous exchange rates, I don't think that's the case anymore but if you are worried about worsening exchange rates it's certainly possible.

Yes, I can remember buying advance credit at $1.80 to the pound. Sadly, those days are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted July 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think this makes sense only if your tea leaves reading tells you that the exchange rate is more advantageous before you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
