CAS prepayment

[phillyguy31]

We are on a 12 day on the BA and normally I don't care about the 3% service charge to move move from our account but with 12 days it may not be that cheap. I don't want to bring the cash with me because we are spending some time in NYC first and don't want to have the cash with me. Can I send CAS money ahead of time and not get hit with the service charge?

You probably should call your CAS rep. One option may be to purchase $500 of OBC. I would think that could be used in the casino. Not a 100% sure though.

$500 sometimes lasts 20-30 minutes at the casino. I'm thinking he's probably thinking if $5,000-6,000

A bit lost here, what is CAS at 3% ???

 

Thanks

You can set up a line of credit with them. Just give them a call. I don't know if the 3% applies to it though.

 

Cruise Drone: 3% is the fee for taking out cash at the casino from your credit card on file. CAS= casinos at sea.

No, the 3% rate doesn't apply to the line of credit, but the minimum amount to request is $5,000.

 

You can also do a "Front Money" deposit via cashier's cheque, traveller's cheque or wire transfer. This might be a better option for the OP if they don't want to carry that much cash.

Taking a few thousand is not a big deal.

 

But, if it is for you, some other options.

 

ATM charges $6 or so...rather cheap when taking out $1,000 at a time. If in NY, you could take out some the day you leave.

 

Also, if you play enough, they waive the 3%.

On our last cruise we sent $10000 to ncl and cashed it in the casino,
