They applied the AARP because it was greater amount than the teacher. This was on an existing booking . So you did get AARP OBC on a booking?

This has always been cryptic to me! You don't see it on the HAL site or app, so you're correct - you have to ask for an updated invoice. You don't see it until you're onboard It's one of those annoying little things (for me) about their site.

Thanks Kathy, once I got home and reviewed the info I just don’t think Alaska Air is going to work for me. Besides Seattle they simply don’t fly nonstop anywhere else from my location. I do appreciate the offer. @BermudaBound2014 I am still thinking about which card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the same scenario (bookings originally made under my Mariner #, we share the AARP account) and had no problem submitting mine first and immediately did John's after and it worked fine. If it still doesn't work, maybe log into your AARP account to make sure you both show up on the same account? They wouldn’t give the credit twice for one stateroom would they?

It specifically said to go through TA and PCC for those bookings, but to call them for the others. I got emails w/updated invoices before I hung up, so they are applying it. One call out - I only got $100 no matter the length of the cruise, even though the program details shows $200 for 10+ nights. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I didn't bother to ask about getting the amount adjusted, I was just happy to get it since it was to be new bookings only. So I decided to accept the gift and move on. If you are able to get the full amount, I may call back in. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USN59-79 Posted July 26, 2023 #139 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I went to the HAL website to look at the fine print. Was wondering if it applied to those who booked at an interliner rate. It didn't mention that as an exclusion, but did have typical weasel words like other exclusions or other terms and conditions may apply. Does anyone know?

I think it is not AARP, I think HAL has a new aggressive dynamic pricing model . Once a cruise or even a category on a cruise reaches an occupancy threshold the higher pricing kicks in. I am equally sure that near sailing the price will likely drop, that is speculation. Since they are using a new algorithm I hope we may see a bidding routine introduced for upsells instead of the current clunky system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
