neverbeenhere Posted April 12, 2023 #26 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Just to beat everyone's time... I started to think about applying for the credit and it appeared on my account. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve booked direct with Princess or use a PVP then you receive an updated confirmation notice from Princess. If you’ve booked with a TA then the confirmation notice is sent to them and it’s up to them to send it to you, which they may or may not do.

It’s not even too late after the cruise starts. I once went to Guest Services and was given a direct email address for that ship and submitted while on board and it was credited to my account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prost Posted April 19, 2023 #29 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I emailed the form on Sat night (bought 110 shares of CCL only last Monday) and by checking my updated summary (after they told me that my bid upgrade was accepted) on Tuesday night, the $100 OBC is there! I treat it as like a quick close to 10% rate of return 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prost Seattle Posted April 19, 2023 #30 Share Posted April 19, 2023 My brokerage account doesn’t have my name on it, only the account#, will it still be accepted by PCL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband has it in his personal account w/Fidelity. He pulls up his month-end statement and finds the page w/the CCL stock on it. He then prints to PDF only that page which includes his name and account number. He prints it out and redacts the acct # and then scans to send it off to our TA to send to Princess. He's done it for many years now with no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to email it because you get an automated response that they have received your correspondence. I never got confirmation from Princess when I faxed the documents years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkingnj Posted April 21, 2023 #37 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Submitted my request via email yesterday at 4:47 PM, received automatic reply back at 4:48 to allow up to 21 days. Went to the Princess app to look at excursions 20 minutes later and the OBC was added for my cruise in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj59 Posted April 21, 2023 #38 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I had to call once, using a number given on past threads here, and a nice woman helped me right away, looking up my email, checking everything with the statement was right, and giving it to me right away. Of course, the question still remains about whether the OBC is worth it for those who bought CCL at a much higher price and could have bought a stock that's been growing and paying dividends. But it's definitely helped make me more loyal to Princess, along with the refundable military benefit, which is now automatically applied. I bought some RCL last year, when its price swooned just because Carnival had some bad earnings, and that got me credit on some Celebrity cruises and a good profit when I sold it.

Prost Seattle Posted April 21, 2023 #40 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I took a picture of my application and my Fidelity statement, emailed it this morning, and I have the credit now. Pretty slick. I won’t do this, but what would keep someone from selling the stock before the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyoftheseas Posted April 22, 2023 #42 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Is there a trick to getting your OBC so quickly? We have a cruise scheduled on July 1 2023 and e-mailed the stockholders info about 3 weeks ago with no reply. So last week we e-mailed again with "second request" in the subject box. We still have not received our OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you use as proof of your stock ownership? My statement only had my account # on it, but I went to the Fidelity office and they had me change my account name of my name (versus a nickname I had for it) so that my name was on statement. It went through pretty quickly that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not sure but you would think they would have some feed back from the current sales. If you do sell your shares, let us know what happened to your OBC.

Shawn5 Posted April 23, 2023 #49 Share Posted April 23, 2023 My guess is that CCL/PCL doesn't care if you sell your shares after receiving the OBC but before (or during) your cruise. The OBC is not real money to them and they're not going to spend the time, effort, or labor $$ to police this pro-customer/pro-investor perk or any violations of it.
