Cafedumonde Posted October 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I know I have seen discussion of this before but I cannot find it. Is fax or mail the only current method of submission? I thought I saw someone with an email address? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look up the Carnival Corp Shareholder Benefit, you will find a PDF on the corporate website that outlines the program and the fax number or snail mail address to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haboob Posted October 14, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The issue, as discussed a long while back, is that folks often forget to blank out their stockbroker account number. Since email attachments can theoretically be looked at enroute between your computer and Princess' computer, there was a legal opinion that email posed a risk to them under Frank-Dodd. For the lawyers out there. It was Princess' Legal Dept's opinion. I have none, IANAL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denmarks Posted October 14, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Stockholders with at least 100 shares of Carnival Corporation stock can get an OBC. You must apply for each cruise. Proof is a copy of your statement, proxy notice, or share certificate. A special form is not needed. Just send all cruise info: booking #, ship, and date. The credit is $250 for a cruise 14 days or longer, $100 for 7 to 13 days, and $50 for 6 days or less. Send by fax or regular mail. It can not be sent by email.

Faxing is a bit of a hassle these days. Neither my work or DW's has a traditional fax machine -- both are internet based. I've got an old multi-function printer that I pull out and plug into our phone line. It is the only thing I use it for. I guess it's a good argument for keeping our landline. 😀 Of course I would never consider sending my brokerage statement in any way without blanking out the account number and all information not pertinent to the cruise line.

Go-Bucks! Posted October 15, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I just submitted my 2 requests by fax and the next day the OBC was in my account. My local library has free fax service so it was simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use an online fax service. Scan your docs to a PDF and then use a service. Google is your friend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Santa Clarita-controlled cruises, it's the US$. On Chatswood-controlled cruises it's the AU$, which runs about 75% of the US$. Were there were still cruises controlled by Princess UK, SOBC on those would be £150, £60, and £30, respectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satxdiver Posted October 16, 2019 #15 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I am a bit suspicious of "free" fax services as well as sending sensitive information over the internet. The word "free" always gets my attention. Therefore I snail mail the stockbroker statement to Princess. It takes longer to post and is a pain particularly as I tear the house apart looking for a postage stamp but feel it is worth the extra security. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoalwater Posted October 16, 2019 #16 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Been using free fax web services for years with no problem. As for email, I believe the real issue is not with broker account codes being readable since you could attach a PDF of the statement with the info redacted (which is what I formerly did before they banned email submission). I think its more that malware can be attached to email and enter their IT systems. A ransomware attack on CCL would cost many millions to ransom a return of access to their data.

It is the only thing I use it for. I guess it's a good argument for keeping our landline. 😀 I send mine in via U.S. Mail. A coworker brought a fax machine into work and hooked it up to the work landline to send faxes. At the end of his shift, he would disconnect it and put it in his car. Our number ended up on a fax telephone number list and 24 hours a day that line would ring and when answered all you would hear is fax tones. ( That line was monitored 24 hours a day so even on the overnights it caused problems for our staff.) If that hasn't happened to you yet, be careful - it could start any time and once your number is out there you can't stop the calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
