js4rq Posted April 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hi, I used to play MyVegas years ago and was only made aware that you can redeem points for OBC (score!). I have enough points for OBC; however I am wondering if it can be applied to bookings made in AUD? Also, I will become platinum after my next cruise next year. Will I still be able to get platinum discounts on the booking if applying MyVegas OBC? Thanks for your help! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare thrifty99 Posted April 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I don’t know about the AUD question but you can use other discounts along with it. We just booked a cruise and used a $750 credit from our RCCL Visa points and also our C&A Diamond balcony discount. I then redeemed 50,000 MyVegas points for $100 OBC. A week on the Harmony in a balcony cabin (2 people) next year ended up costing us $1,604 - $750 = $854 plus $100 OBC from the sale and another $100 OBC from MyVegas points. So $654 for 2 in a balcony cabin when you include the OBC credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js4rq Posted April 28, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Thanks for the clarification - that is good to know. I have enough points to redeem for OBC for 2 or 3 cruises... just have to find out if they can be applied onto cruises booked in AUD. I do have a couple cruises that were booked in USD, so I will find out whether it would be beneficial adding the OBC to either cruise. Thanks again!

rachelzak Posted May 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2018 What, exactly, can you use the OBC for? Gambling? Drinks? Spa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2018 What, exactly, can you use the OBC for? Gambling? Drinks? Spa? Anything you can charge onboard (including gratuities), except for booking a new cruise. With regard to gambling, RC only takes cash in the casino, but you can get a cash advance at the casino cashier for a 5% fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryred Posted May 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Has anyone used myVegas rewards from a husband and wife on the same cruise? Thanks Only one certificate per cabin.

tigergrl0204 Posted May 24, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 24, 2018 If you reprice the cruise, the 30 day starts over, just so you know! We repriced in May and were able to add a $100 OBC from MyVegas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trrn2016 Posted May 25, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I just booked a cruise and redeemed my points toward this cruise. Once it is approved, my husband will try to redeem his. Hope it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trrn2016 Posted May 27, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 27, 2018 My husband and I both received OBC for our next cruise with My Vegas rewards!!!!! States one reward per person per cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolffie89 Posted May 27, 2018 #16 Share Posted May 27, 2018 How long do they take to email you back? I sent the email 2 days ago and havent gotten a reply. Also, how do you see the credit on your account on the royal Caribbean website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trrn2016 Posted May 27, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I sent the email on one day and got the approval on the next day for both of the requests. They then sent an updated Cruise Vacation Receipt listing the new OBCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBSteelerfan Posted July 14, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Only one certificate per cabin. Also the certificate must be APPLIED less than 30 days after the booking is made. So, if I have booked 2 cabins (with 2 different booking numbers) can I redeem 2 rewards and have 1 for each cabin then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditmar2007 Posted July 14, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Trying to understand this, can I add to a cruise I booked 2 weeks ago to a cruise that already has obc? Thanks I couldn't redeem Myvegas OBC on a cruise that had OBC already. I didn't insist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryred Posted July 14, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 14, 2018 OK after over a a month of back and forth with both Royal's casino department and our travel agent I found out that my certificate from MyVegas will not be honored. Even though it was submitted following the instructions and within the time limits. The REASON, I have an M-Life # on file w/ C&A from a Celebrity cruise 2 years ago. They said I will get the casino benefits due for my M-Life status but can't tell me what they are, and direct me to contact M-Life by calling the CS number that came with my card. The problem being I don't have a card or benefits flyer with a contact #. So I'm now out he reward points from the MyVegas redemption and no casino credit. Any ideas on how to remedy?

LookingForward2 Posted July 14, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 14, 2018 We didn’t remember the ‘within 30 days of booking’ rule and have missed that point. Has anyone ever been able to redeem after that point? Or... my brother/wife just booked, would we be able to redeem it for them?

maryred Posted July 14, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 14, 2018 So, if I have booked 2 cabins (with 2 different booking numbers) can I redeem 2 rewards and have 1 for each cabin then?Just saw your comment ...As far as I know the person redeeming the certificate must be the MyVegas player named on the certificate and booked to that cabin. So if you have 2 adults that have points to get certificates even if on the same general booking, as long as in different cabins they are each able to redeem a certificate. BUT I would double check when submitting the first certificate. Then if RC says OK then order the second certificate and apply it as soon as you get it. (As long as it's within whatever the current TOU MyVegas is imposing.) Sent from my STV100-2 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigergrl0204 Posted July 14, 2018 #23 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I was able to redeem OBC for my MyVEGAS acct and my husbands MyVEGAS acct! It says one per person, so I think they’re now allowing more than one obc per cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSGator Posted July 14, 2018 #24 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Was anyone able to redeem an OBC credit if you booked your cruise through an agent or specifically American Airlines Cruises? The terms says has to be booked direct with Royal. We are still within the 30 days... wouldn’t mind getting a $100 OBC too.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I don't have a solid answer for you, but you can always submit the reward and see if they apply it. We originally booked through RCL, but transferred to a TA, then repriced our cruise, did my MyVegas reward, repriced for a different cabin type and submitted dh's reward. When we submitted for my reward, they stated my TA would have to call in, but bc they messed up a couple things, the RCL personnel I spoke with applied my OBC on the spot. When I submitted DH's reward, they applied it without my TA having to call in, so honestly, it seems like it depends on the worker at RCL. Good luck!
