Forces OBC

I've just found out that you can't get the OBC if you have booked a saver fare, has anyone else experienced this?

 

Fair enough I'm not complaining as obviously you are paying less but it doesn't mention this on the website.

The terms are on the ask.cunard.com/military web site. There's the little asterisk that Late Saver and other promotional fares are excluded. It only applies to Cunard Fare and Early Saver fares.

Isn't this the point of a 'saver fare', you only get what you've paid for. I don't think they are going to pay you or give you an incentive to buy their cheaper product. ;)

Cunard has a cheaper product?

I was thinking more on the lines of:

 

Stateroom allocation

Dining arrangements

Shuttle Bus

Car parking (Southampton)

etc etc :)

Saver fares are a UK booking option. They don't have the equivalent option to book in the US (not that I'd want to).

We were surprised by this too. Not sure if this has always been the case, but this is the first time we have been turned down. Guess that there isn't any point arguing, but we did ask them to check again.

The Clue is in "Saver Fare";)
