Purchased Cabin Credit?

[volk904]

Looking to spend my $1000 AmEx charge.   If I buy $1000 cabin credit for my March Cruise and only use about $600 can I get the balance back in cash or can I get creative and buy $400 in casino play and then cash most out later?  A credit card credit would not be what I want.

If you buy in advance it will be refunded if unspent at the end of the cruise. But keep in mind Amex will see the credit reducing you below $1000 and take back the bonus.

 

How I made it work last week was to check in for the cruise with a different card, so my refund of OBC is going to my Visa instead.

 

There's also a thread about that bonus maybe a moderator can merge.
