hvyhttr21 Posted January 28, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2010 If I put some OBC's on my S&S account prior to the cruise and also have some OBC's as a result of the ES program, which is used first. Seems like a silly question, but here is why I ask. -ES OBC's are not paid at the end of the cruise if they are not used. -Unused protions of the purchased OBC's applied to my S&S account (to avoid having them tie up my checking account for weeks) are paid out at the end. So, which one get's used first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise, J.D. Posted January 28, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2010 If I put some OBC's on my S&S account prior to the cruise and also have some OBC's as a result of the ES program, which is used first.

So, which one get's used first? Good question and I have wondered about that too. Some have reported actually getting paid for their ES OBC at the end of the cruise :confused:. I am hoping that Carnival applies purchases to the non-refundable OBC first. I also wonder if the different types of OBC are actually segregated in the S&S account.

hvyhttr21 Posted January 28, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Really? Nobody knows the answer to this? Common sense tells me they take from the non-refundable ES OBC first. The purchased OBC would probably be treated as if it were a credit card attached to the S&S account. It would only be used after the ES OBC was used up...

hvyhttr21 Posted January 28, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted January 28, 2010 As we all know...common sense is not always all that common. That is why I asked if anyone has experienced this personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken076 Posted January 28, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2010 It does seem that the ship's pursers routinely refund unspent Early Saver OBC - not clear if they can't distinguish or are too busy to care. You could visit the Purser and ask that they assure that your non-refundable OBC is used first? You could use Travelers Checks instead of pre-purchasing OBC and add the Travelers checks when your ES OBC is spent? ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
