I am hopeful that they actually will do this for dinosaurs like me that still use desktops. 😄 Not a dinosaur. Web sites are far more function than phone apps in almost every instance.

canes20 Posted March 21 #177 Share Posted March 21 Not a fan. Just got denied for the first time because they said the shareholder was not in the room. Wife's official name is Melissa, goes by Missy. Carnival has Melissa, Schwab statement says Missy, first time being denied. Guess I have to refile and explain the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been fortunate to have that happen now (or actually a couple of weeks ago now), since using completely different names as on different accounts in general could cause more significant problems later on. I'm not an expert but I would want my legal name on any financial account. I've even experienced occasional problems with including or excluding my middle name or initial. I would never have thought of Missy as an alternative form of Melissa (maybe "Mel", or even "Lissa.") When I first had to submit a statement from my broker for a shareholder credit, I learned that the website provided me with the ability to label each account. So even if my IRA was owned by "John Smith", I could have the account statements show any title, for example "Mary Jones' IRA." Of course I had no reason to do that; just saying it was possible. The label has nothing to do with who owns the account - it's completely arbitrary. I put my actual name into the label for each account, because if I hadn't, I would have had to supply even more of the statement, since my name and the share listing didn't appear on the same page until I included my name in the label.

JonathanFlorida Posted May 7 #179 Share Posted May 7 my shareholder OBC request was denied. Reason given was "This booking is a restricted discounted reservation and is not eligible for onboard credit" True, this booking was at a discounted rate, but the booking itself included some OBC. This is the first time that my Shareholder OBC was denied, and I have booked similarly discounted / casino rate cruises many times in the past.

1taxlady Posted May 7 #180 Share Posted May 7 Just did the stockperks app yesterday and it took 1 hour. Rejected password even though conformed to directions. Took 10 minutes to send email verification, then timed out. Why should guests, especially those not comfortable with technology, have to work so hard to get a few dollars OBC. CCL is moving backward while RCL/Celebrity is moving rapidly forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCL is moving backward while RCL/Celebrity is moving rapidly forward. Once you get it set up, it makes the process to redeem the credit sooooo much easier. I absolutely LOVE it! No more having to download copy of statements, redacting account numbers, submitting through fax or email. You just go into the app, find your cruise company, input booking number, sailing date, cruise ship name, name on booking, etc and hit submit. I would argue that the previous way was harder from a technical perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
