Can you attach the trade confirmation, or do you have to wait for the monthly statement. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scan and attach the page from a recent monthly brokerage statement that notes your holdings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apply for cruises as far out as 2 years. They apply it and never ask to re-submit. Since I don't actively trade in the account that holds my share I only get a quarterly statement. I usually submit for all bookings right after I get a fresh statement. I'm sure confident purchase confirmation will work.

Canada17 Posted July 16 #32 Share Posted July 16 Used online submission, sent in request on Thursday along with my June 30 investment statement. On Sunday, I received confirmation of SHC for all 6 of our cruises, starting October 2024 on Millennium, through to B2B Transatlantic on Odyssey October 2025. 3 day turnaround including Saturday and Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 18 #33 Share Posted July 18 I just submitted my info online. Wow, was that easy! I fully expect to be denied for my sailings due to being casino offers, but you never know. It's 100% no if you don't ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 21 #34 Share Posted July 21 I'm pleased, and rather surprised, to report that at 2:40 am this morning, I received two emails. One confirming $50 OBC for my 5-night Reflection sailing; the other confirming $100 OBC for my 6-night Beyond sailing. I really didn't expect them to be approved. I only paid to the discounted 2nd person fare (my fare was free). But I'll certainly take it. As I said, you never know! I do not see the OBC added in My Planner. Even it if shows up later, I'll print the em confirmations. I hate having to print things and carry them when traveling, but I just know the one time I don't take "evidence" of something is the time there will be no record of it when I board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always take paper copies of everything - cruise invoice, OBC approval, Select Dining bookings (at least for the first night) Set Sail Pass, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a backup I have all my e-mails backed up going back over 20 years. Do to work life before I retired, I wasn't permitted to delete e-mail due to various court litigation. I was the one that prepped the weekly / monthly data points for the President and Board. During many cases I couldn't even toss paper, notes etc as work product. I'm so glad I' retired... Now I'm just discorganize....lol Just ask Iain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted July 22 #38 Share Posted July 22 I'm a CPA (sadly, still working part-time at age 71 to pay for trips mostly, but also because I was a single mother and got a late start on retirement funding), so I'm still all about having backup documentation for everything. For some reason, emails that I have in separate folders on my computer don't show up on my phone, and I have a separate email folder for every cruise going back about 15 years (so there are quite a few). That's why I print the essential docs. But I'm perfectly happy submitting the info online. That was a breeze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
