voljeep Posted June 6, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I hope there is a clause in the contract that the 'paint scheme/wrap' can't be changed for 2 years, and then at your expense - since I prolly won't be entering the contest 🦄 good marketing for Princess - for Porche - maybe not so much. Didn't Porshe and Princess form some sort of 'arangement' for the PCA cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted June 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Of course if you are like us and live in a condo how do you charge it ? Run seoulnd all the time looking for public charging stations ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damiross Posted June 6, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'd gave to sell it immediately upon winning it. Can't afford the income tax on $100,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Coral Posted June 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 6, 2023 There was a post on the Alaska boards last year on how much Princess is taking when merchants sign up to be able to accept the medallion and use that as a payment. I don't remember the details but it was a lot. Enough that I wouldn't use the medallion on land to pay for things. I know for me, the cost is the same - I just want the merchants to survive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a conversation with a restaurant owner in Cabo regarding the Medallion merchant deal. He told us that he has to give Princess 30% of the charges that are made via the Medallion and that he was not renewing the contract with them once it expired at the end of last year. I think many merchants are going to do the same, it is not a good deal for most of them. IMHO another flop by JP! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Coral Posted June 7, 2023 #14 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I can't find the CC post but will look for it. Here is a Juneau newspaper article: https://www.juneauempire.com/news/princess-puts-plans-for-contactless-medallionpay-system-on-hold-in-alaska/ I am pretty sure that this year, there were stores that took part in the program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if you exercise 30 consecutive days, or go to their classes for 30 consecutive days, or make a medallion purchase, you are only eligible to play the game which you must win all 5 rounds...all 50 rock, paper, scissors.

Basically taking money out of the local's pocket (albeit voluntarily since they agree to it). I refuse to use Medallion Pay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, after you do the 30 day consecutive exercise, or 30 days of thier classes, then you win the chance at playing the game. You must win all 50 rounds the fastest in order to win the car. Each round has different rock, paper scissors items so it will get confusing. My bet is no one can win all 50 rounds. Once you loose 1 round, you are out.

So in effect if I see any shops advertising Medallion pay as a come on, I can almost expect a 30% discount at other competing merchants. Good to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted June 7, 2023 #25 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) This is a joke. At www.xpass.fi, the XPASS App is documented as only available for Apple devices at their App Store. Why on Earth would Princess block out the majority of smartphone users (more people use Android phones than Apple phones)? SMH, JP.
