Native Floridian 26 Posted December 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Last year during the week of December 7th, we received an email from HAL indicating that if we paid our final payment by Dec 31 (slightly earlier than required), then they would give us additional OBC. For us it was only a week or so early, so we jumped on it. We figured they needed to increase their cash position by year end for accounting purposes. Has anyone gotten such request recently?

Rare Mary229 Posted December 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I did not receive an email but in early November people on my roll call did get an email to pay a few days early and get $100 OBC. I was a bit miffed as I had just paid mine off early. My TA got HAL to apply the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're hoping for same offer this year for the April TA that is due Jan 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted December 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Nothing yet, but I didn't get anything last year, either. Guess they don't want my $$ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted December 11, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I think the cruise business is in a different financial situation today, as opposed to last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 0106 Posted December 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2023 We received an offer to “pay early” for $100 in OBC in mid October for a cruise whose final payment was due 12/3. We took advantage of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on your roll call and like 0106, we got our offer in mid-October (not november) and had to pay in full by October 31st. The final payment for the cruise was November 11th (I believe or close to that date). In my case I paid the cruise off less than 2 weeks early for an extra $100.

I just remember you guys talking about the email a few short days after I had paid in full. I had paid to accommodate my travel schedule. White Sands National Park was excellent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Floridian 26 Posted December 11, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Wow it sounds like it can happen at times other than the end of the year. Fingers crossed for a letter soon! Love OBC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sands National Park was excellent I'm just glad your TA was able to get you the $100 OBC even though you had just paid it off! You really do have a VERY good TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
