visa rewards

[george35]

We have a RCL Visa card that we always use for booking a cruise, my question is if I take say $500 OBC for my reward points but on the cruise I only use $200 of it do I lose the remaining $300 or can I get cash at the end of my cruise. The reason I ask is that we are both in our 80s & we dont except tours buy much on board.

Thanks

Then why don't you take the dollars off cruise fare option instead of the OBC?  We always use all of our OBC even if I have to buy a dining or drink package, or a watch. We've never had leftover onboard credit, so I don't know what happens with the points.

i have also used my rewards points for OBC. on the last night of our cruise i go to the casino and purchase chips play one hand and then cash in the chips. there is a fee to purchase chips but i have heard that if you go to the machines and swipe your card you can cash out after a pull on the machine with no fee charged but i havent tried that yet.  good luck

On the last full day of the cruise I was able to go to guest services and request my Visa rewards OBC in cash. I told them I wanted to tip in cash, and they were very happy to give me cash. (We were on Liberty OTS on her last sailing precovid and wanted to make sure we heavily tipped the folks that made our trip amazing.

I thought the credit card OBC was fully refundable.  Guess not!
