Rare KKB Posted July 19 #1 Share Posted July 19 OK...I am within a thousand points of Diamond. I know you get 100 points for every $150 spent onboard. Most of what I spend is in the casino--do I need to charge my gambling $ to my account for this? Or if I just put cash in the machine, will my coin-in count? Thanks.

SirJackDaniels Posted July 19 #2 Share Posted July 19 Unfortunately casino spend doesn't count towards Voyagers Club points... How to collect points Each time you cruise with us, you will earn points to upgrade your membership level. You can collect points based on the type of MSC Experience purchased, onboard services prepaid before the cruise and onboard expenses. Points are credited at the end of the cruise, approximately ten days after the disembarkation date. Take a look at more details below. MSC Experience purchased Experience Cruise under 6 days / 5 nights Cruises from 6 to 10 days / 5 to 9 nights Cruises of more than 10 days - 9 nights Bella 200 points 500 points 700 points Fantastica 400 points 700 points 1000 points Aurea 600 points 1000 points 1500 points MSC Yacht Club 800 points 1500 points 2000 points As of May 27 2019, members who book a Voyages Selection departure will be credited double membership points for the type of Experience chosen. Points will be assigned at the end of the cruise. Onboard services prepaid before the cruise: you earn 100 points every 150 €/$ on expenses made before the cruise on MSC packages and services included in the cruise booked*. Onboard expenses: you earn 100 points for every 150 €/$ spent on board, excluding casino expenses. Points for onboard expenses (including pre-boarding purchased shipboard credit) will only be assigned to the MSC Voyagers Club cardholder making the final payment. *For currencies other than € euro, the currency conversion on purchase day will apply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Best Cat Mom Posted July 19 #3 Share Posted July 19 Also keep in mind that anything you charge to your room has the potential to earn you some type of points/rewards on your credit card. Double dip into two loyalty programs whenever possible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

km3045 Posted July 26 #8 Share Posted July 26 Wait a minute. Let’s think about this. If you pre-purchase OBC, MSC will charge your credit card at that time, and apply the “shipboard credit” to your stateroom. To me, that OBC can be drawn from while in the casino, just like any other OBC. I mean that I think that OBC is OBC and when they award your Voyager points at the end of the cruise, they maybe can’t or don’t make the distinction in how that OBC came to be, so you would get Voyager point credit for it.

Whaddayathink? I'm thinking you're right and I'm gonna give it a try for my Oct cruise..... I can always cash out my prepaid OBC if I don't end up using it.
