Shareholder Credit

[Budget Queen]

 

For the record, my CCL stock already gave me more than $1k OBC on Carnival, Princess, and Costa, plus dividends, plus $28k gain on value as of today.

 

The "gain" really, only means something if you sell.

I'm assuming your benefits are for the last year? I got back $1650 last year, only $500 so far this year. :)

So, I can trade on Fidelity for $7.95 per trade. What's to stop me from buying 100 shares of CCL, printing the screen showing I own 100, and selling them back 20 minutes later? It costs me $15.90 in fees, and I qualify for the OBC.

Being an honest person.:rolleyes: There is also nothing to stop you from from stealing from your friends!

The benefits are for my entire ownership of CCL stock, which has been several years. Yes, technically the "gain" only means something when I sell (I did sell CCL before and the gain covered several cruises). But in my case, since the gain is very high it is really hard for me to lose money on CCL stock, even if I did not set stop orders.

That is so true. He probably can steal more than $80.50 ($100-$19.50) from drunk people in casino without being caught.:p

I don't steal from people in the casino. I was just asking a theoretical question to help understand the policy. I'm an auditor by trade, and I'm trained to look for holes in policies. I don't plan on doing it, I was just curious. Please don't attack my character, as you don't know me.

I don't think anyone is attacking you personally, only your idea.

The loophole, I anticipate a closure of- is- the jointly held shares, and people getting 2 benefits for a single 100 share ownership, by, booking 2 separate cabins and applying the same single 100 share ownership to both cruises.

I usually fax about 4-5 weeks prior. I don't remember getting an acknowledgement on my last cruise. Just checked my documents page on Carnival site and it showed up there.

Why is this a loophole... it is two cabins, so each gets the credit.
