Trying to keep non-refundable OBC

Ploy to keepOBC:

 

You go to the casino and create you players club account for the sailing (this is necessary no matter what you do because they are cashless on the ship)Go to a slot machine. Put your card in the machine (S&S) card. You will be prompted to set up an account. You will have to put your date of birth in as a PIN. You are then prompted to change your PIN (4 numbers). Now you are set to go (you can still put money in, but they have made most of the money things for dollars/coins, not work well, making it easier to bypass using money (they don't want you using money, and the ONLY way to cash out is into you players club connected to your card)

 

There are 4 options at this point "CASH OUT TO YOUR PLAYERS BANK"-- "GET CREDITS FROM YOU PLAYERS BANK"--"CHARGE CREDITS TO YOUR S&S CARD"--"CHANGE YOUR PIN". At this point you will have no credits unless you put money in the slot machine and you have credits in the machine, and you cash them out. If you are just using the machine to get money out of your S&S card, select the option to charge credits to you S&S card. **Note I do not know if there are different limits if you have a cash or debit card on file for your S&S card - we always have a credit card** That might factor in you max withdrawal each day. Often it is about $300-$500, but I have seen as high as $1000/day.

 

We decide things like if we are going to the steakhouse, cucina, and how much our bill is bound to be. We then use the left over amount to charge to our players bank (if you have more than the daily limit, you would have to load the rest the next day) We like to make sure that at least all of our credit is accounted for plus a little extra. It is approved and suddenly that money appears in the slot machine. We then "cash out" to our players bank. There is now a charge on our S&S account, which you can check on your TV for "entertainment". You must cash this out at the cashier the last might of the cruise but you can really cash it out whenever you want or every night if you want. So your S&S card is your charge card for the ship and it also "holds" your players bank money. We cash it out, put it in the safe, and bring it home and put it in the bank to put on the next cruise.

 

Basically - you can 'download' the obc to your S&S card in the casino - play the slot or any machine ONCE ( or more if you wish?) - then pull out your card when you are done and CASH OUT at the cage - thereby transferring the OBC from your account to your player's bank - onto your card and into cash!

My question is: There are 2 types of OBC, refundable and non-refundable. With the non-refundable. I have been told it can not be refunded. Can it work with this above ploy? HELP!!
