Rare Mary229 Posted March 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Can my substantial OBC be used to purchase a FCD? Where on the HAL website does one find the answer to these type of technical issues? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare richwmn Posted March 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2022 In the past the answer to this question has been no. Any purchase of a FCD had to be made with a credit / debit card, not thru your onboard account. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncientWanderer Posted March 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I believe what Rich stated is still the case. I had this discussion with my PCC prior to cruising -- and also asked if the FCD purchase would count toward onboard spending for Mariner points. I was told "No" by PCC and found her to be correct when we made our FCD purchase onboard. The FCD does not show up on daily spending folio and it requires a credit card for purchase. This was our experience last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume buying a FCD doesn’t count toward Mariner spending either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misread it to mean OBC spending didn’t count toward Mariner spending. So it does? My attention to accounting details is very limited🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My attention to accounting details is very limited🙃 OBC spending counts towards Mariner spending. You can use it (assuming it’s from HAL) for anything except the casino. The FCD you must purchase outside of it as there is OBC attached to it (although not much now 😉 ) and it allows for reduced deposits on future cruises. Hope this helps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
