Pcardad Posted May 30, 2020 #102 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I would have your TA EMAIL Regent and request a check payable to the name on the credit card used to make the payment. Include a letter from you detailing what happened (Ie closing the card). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambagahle Posted May 30, 2020 #103 Share Posted May 30, 2020 That is probably what we will have to do. Having a cheque is complicated because we live in Switzerland (where we have not used cheques for 30 so years) but we could send it back to the US to be deposited. I have spoken with our TA about a cheque but she says since everyone at Regent is working from home they cannot write cheques at the moment. Presumably the credit sent to the "dead" CC will bounce back to Regent, at least I would hope so. Thanks - good advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellaggio Cruisers Posted May 30, 2020 #105 Share Posted May 30, 2020 My March 14th Cruise was charged on two different credit cards that were subsequently closed, because of possible fraud. Even though it was a while ago, the refunds went to the old cards and I was able to have them transferred to the replacement cards. Still waiting for the checks. Sapphire was terrible to deal with, still haven’t gotten anything . Citi bank check is expected any day. sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piscean Posted May 30, 2020 #106 Share Posted May 30, 2020 My recent communication with Regent..... I have just checked on the process of the refunds for this date they are with our Accounts team now and should hopefully be with your agent by the 12th Jun , as the refunds have to go back to the form of payment we received them. Our cruise was April 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcardad Posted May 30, 2020 #107 Share Posted May 30, 2020 That's great! Maybe they have moved forward a batch to April 11 - 20! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierrafloridacruiser Posted May 30, 2020 #108 Share Posted May 30, 2020 We got our refund back on our Amex card this morning for our cancelled (by Regent) Explorer transatlantic cruise that was to leave April 3rd. Thank you Regent! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieQft Posted May 30, 2020 Author #109 Share Posted May 30, 2020 3 hours ago, Pcardad said: Upon a dispute, a bank will often immediately credit the disputed amount back to your credit card with the understanding that they will take it back if the finding goes against you. Both US Trust and JP Morgan do this. That is why I asked @orvil which was the case. If it is just a temporary credit pending dispute resolution (which sounded more likely than a completed refund from what I know so far), then I will make a note of it but not count it as a received refund.

orvil Posted May 30, 2020 #110 Share Posted May 30, 2020 SusieQft, The final payment that was refunded to me was made on February 14, 2020. The deposit was made on September 14, 2019. The CC company refunded the final payment. Their electronic records go back six months. After that, it has to be handled manually. I received my final payment refund within a week of notification. This was the largest of the two amounts. I left the funds in my CC account for a month. I stopped using the card so there would be no confusion. I kept waiting for CC company to claw it back for the very reason that maybe they weren't finished with the investigation. Then, I received a letter indicating that they considered the matter closed even though the September deposit portion had not been refunded. Their reason given was the length of time. I don't think seven months for return of a deposit was too far. People buy cruises three years in advance. Airline tickets go on sale nine months in advance of the date of travel. It's specious reasoning. I wrote an appeal email to one of their executives pointing out the illogical treatment of the two charges this morning. I'll let you know what he says. I have other avenues to get satisfaction, but it's a process and you have to go through all the steps. This was a VISA account and subject to the whims of the particular bank that is attached to the account. I am certain that if I had used AmEx they would have refunded the entire amount before the sun went down. They have that reputation. If you have ever been on the merchant side of the equation you know that AmEx is ruthlessly efficient. VISA and MC, not as much. My mistake. I had a separate airline reservation that was cancelled by the airline. Those arrived in the account on Friday. Progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam Posted May 31, 2020 #113 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I haven't gotten on the list because everything with our family trip was more recent than most I am seeing, but I will just for the spreadsheet. Sailing date was to be 6/24/20 on Mariner, was paid in full (four suites). Regent cancelled on 4/24/20, refund requested that day by TA and confirmed by Regent on 4/28. It has barely been 30 days, so I am definitely not getting anxious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following my post above, my husband and I spoke to our financial advisor. He advised to immediately file a credit card dispute. Initial deposit (06/2018) on my husband's Chase card and paid excursions (08/2019)/final deposit (11/2019) on my Bank of America card. Our advisor had two concerns. First, the news of NCL's stock plunging and possible bankruptcy (the two billion in funding was a relief). Second, the builder of our new home abruptly left our project declaring personal and business bankruptcies, leaving us to complete the build as general contractors and to undertake his contractual financial responsibilities (equal to three Regent cruises)! Chase and Bank of America temporarily credited both of our cards, May 19th. Both credit card companies have sixty (60) days to resolve with Regent. Thank you again, Susie, and best wishes to all Regent cruisers! We were so much looking to our cruise aboard Splendor! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be great for all those folks waiting for full refunds from their cancelled cruise. And for them, hooray! Doesn't do anything for me, meanwhile, awaiting a normal deposit cancellation for a future cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Work for Tiramisu Posted June 4, 2020 #125 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Perhaps no longer on tenterhooks: Cruise date 4/16/20, Splendor NYC to Barcelona. Cancelled by RSS 3/30/20 Requested refund of our agent at RSS same day. Agent called 8am next day, confirmed refund. Yesterday, sent another friendly email, but starting to squeak. This morning 6/3/20 agent emailed, said refund is processed (in 5 parts, based on deposit, balance, flight biz, on board cooking events, outings). Haven't seen on CC yet, but hope to shortly. Original card was compromised, had to reissue with new number, same bank. Assume that won't be a problem. So, hope to have all the chickens home to roost in short order. NOW we can talk about future cruises! However, going to start with a 3 week road trip in south of France, see how things are going in cruise world before plopping down big coin of the realm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
