IAcruising Posted October 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2023 The form needs to be received by NCL at least 15-days prior to the cruise. Once it's accepted, it's a done deal. You can sell the stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggie311 Posted October 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Do a lot of people buy the stock, get the credit and then resell it? And then rinse and repeat for each cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also made a gain on the stock. Not much, but even at a loss it would have been more than worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefMateJRK Posted October 18, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2023 It's like $1600 we're talking about here. Just buy the freakin' stock and get the credit on every future cruise. You folks are high end vacationers and you're quibbling about peanuts in the stock market. There are some pieces missing from this puzzle. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We purchased stock once and use it 4-6 times a year for our cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then rinse and repeat for each cruise? Not really a good idea because of capital gains laws. If you're flipping a stock quickly then your entire portfolio can be liable for the full income tax rate instead of the lower capital gains rate. If you're serious about doing it, I'd suggest speaking to an accountant or tax advisor first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomII Posted October 19, 2023 #15 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I sent in the forms for 2 cruises. In just over a day I got an email saying I am getting the obc on both cruises. When I look at it on line in the vacation summary one has the obc but nothing on the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
