OBC with Carnival CC points

[Jenniell]

I moved $200 to OBC from my points but it said that it wouldn't allow it until the second day of my cruise. Does anyone have a "been there, done that" situation where you can explain it? Will it magically appear the second day or will it show at boarding?

Yes it will show up on your s&s account on second day. You should also have a confirmation that you can print from your cc account.

 

I don't know if you can reverse your obc, or food for thought for future. It is a better deal to use your points to pay on your statement. That way you'll get double points for your purchases onboard and have that many more points to use. You have 6 months to accumulate points after your cruise purchases.

Details are on your Barclay account for redeeming rewards.

So just pay onboard charges with the credit card to get double points and then apply for a statement credit after the fact?

We dont use the card much as there are much better ones out there but this is how we have done it in the past.

[CeleBrat]

Yes--we just converted 10,000 points to our card for credit, giving us a negative balance, Then, we will use our CC for onboard purchases, giving us double points and the -$.

Using points as a credit after the cruise is the way we do it as well, get more points onboard and then you have more points after the cruise to pay off the balance.

Even after reading what little bit I can find on Barclays site about redeeming points as a credit toward my balance I still don't understand how it works. When I have clicked to redeem toward the balance it says can only be done once. Would someone with experience doing this mind explaining it a little better than the site does? Thanks in advance.
