Spudd Posted June 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I'm a travel agent, and I booked some clients on an Azamara cruise. They got $750 in OBC with their booking, under the "Three Free Nights" promo. Now Azamara is telling me that this is "flash OBC" and can't be used on excursions, it can only be used once they get on board. I can't find anything in the terms & conditions about this. Has anyone experienced this? Is this an actual thing? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terry&mike Posted June 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2023 The term "flash" is used to designate the type of sale, it is a "flash sale", rather than a long thought out marketing push it is a more spur of the moment sales push to generate bookings. I have tried to attach the most recent Flash Sale details to this post, and the $750 OBC is good for Shore Excursions, as mentioned in the details. You may need to try again with Azamara and get a different rep, or wait until the clients board to book excursions, but the OBC looks like can be applied to excursions.

Spudd Posted June 29, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Thanks. They are telling me it can be applied to excursions but only after they board. But nobody wants to wait until they board to book their excursions! Hopefully if I keep at them we can get this sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been having challenges in being able to apply OBC to Shore Excursions booked before the guest is onboard since the data migration.
