RC Visa Pts for OBC-How long to apply?

[jdbmga]

How long before my cruise do I have to apply my OBC to my cruise? Want to wait until the last billing cycle ends b4 my cruise but want to be sure it gets done in time.

 

Thank you :)

I'd try to apply the OBC about 2 weeks before the cruise, but you can probably do it closer.

That is what RCI recommends http://www.royalcaribbean.com/customersupport/faq/details.do?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&pnav=5&pnav=2&faqType=faq&faqSubjectId=513&faqSubjectName=Royal+Caribbean+Visa+Signature%26reg%3B+Card&faqId=5675

I booked my next cruise using points. 3 weeks ago I changed cabins. Before I hung up, the lady reminded me if I want to use points for OBC I need to call them at least 7 days before embarkation.

I redeemed points for OBC about 3 months before the cruise. Sailing tomorrow. Should the OBC appear without any issues?

Yes it should, but I would still take whatever confirmations you have.

When we redeemed points for OBC last month, we were told that the absolute latest with no exceptions that you can redeem is 7 days prior to sailing. The woman I spoke to recommended doing it 10-14 days out if possible (we were waiting for our statement to close to reach the next 5,000 point increment) but said up to 7 days prior it will be applied to your sailing with no problems. We called instead of doing it online too. Felt more comfortable with doing so for some reason.

I always try to do my RC points about 2-3 months out so I don't have to worry about it later on.
