"the short answer is yes. All purchases except Casino and Cash Advances go toward the 'bonus' days. It doesn't matter if you purchase onboard on earlier."
Thanks for your response. How sure are you about this? Have you tried this?
I called and got the opposite answer. She read "onboard" to mean you physically had to be onboard.
Your logic makes more sense - why should they care? They just want people to spend the money, one would think...
