2BeOnaBoat Posted July 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2015 This is my first time applying for the Military Benefits OBC. I wish I had known about this a few cruises ago! I applied for the military OBC and Princess' process worked well. I used the form that the Future Cruise Sales lady gave me but you can find it at (http://www.princess.com/military_benefit_program). There is info and a form there. My question is should I expect to see the credit under my next booking or just under My Princess? When I check in My Princess, under Circle Savings Account, I see a Future Cruise credit that has been applied to my next booking, the Military Benefits credit displays as active but not applied. When I go into Cruise Personalizer, under Payments and Credits, I see the Future Cruise credit but not the Military Benefits credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscienceteacher Posted July 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) We are in the UK but my DH has Military OBC. It shows up on the Cruise personaliser under the Bookings and Credits section. It's towards the bottom under the credits. Hope that helps.

madscienceteacher Posted July 16, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It took a few days to show up so depending when you applied may still show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denmarks Posted July 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It is permanent and will show up on every cruise from now on. It is also a refundable credit. You can receive cash if not used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby_Cruiser Posted July 16, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I sent my husband's information in and after a month of seeing nothing, I called about his military OBC. Turns out, I needed to send in a scan of his ID as well as the form (didn't read the fine print apparently). So, if you're like me and only sent in the form, you may have to re-do it and send in a scan of an ID as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend calling the Princess toll free number which the application form says is how to ask questions. Mine has a general approved statement in my cruise credits section, in my Cruise Personalizer under Credits & Payments and also whenever I am signed in when checking pricing.

It does not show up if you do not have a booking. They may not have received it or they may not have approved it. They will not normally call you and tell you what's wrong or what is missing. From your description it sounds as though they did not apply it. How long has it been? Edited July 16, 2015 by Colo Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just curious how it worked for others as this is my first time with that credit and it seemed odd for it to appear in one place but not the other.

I would give it a week or so. ;) Then once in the system it will show on every booked cruise after that. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted July 17, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) I had to email it twice and since I booked the Costco they had it under there booking When applied to the cruise booking it is visible to you in the personalizer under payments and credits.

satxdiver Posted July 17, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 17, 2015 It is permanent and will show up on every cruise from now on. It is also a refundable credit. You can receive cash if not used. I always spend mine on the ship. You mean pax sometimes get money back? :D I applied back when they started this program and it has appeared in all my bookings since that time. When I book on the ship for a future cruise, it always shows up and the future cruise director mentions it. It is a fantastic program but i have found that Princess and their computer system often run out of sync with the computer system running behind.
