alexgtp Posted July 19, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) I have to say how impressed I am with the online system to request your Share Holder OBC. It only took 4 business days to see the OBC for my sailing. KUDOS to RCI for having an electronic option, and it being very efficient (when providing the correct info they require, of course) For those who may want to use the electronic version it can be found here. Sort of weird how they used a "SURVEY" type portal. https://rclshareholderbenefit.questionpro.com/ Here is main portal for investors, incase you have more questions. https://www.rclinvestor.com/contact-us/faqs/shareholder-benefit/ Edited July 19, 2021 by alexgtp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted July 19, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) It's not a big deal to email the document vs. using the electronic form. BTW, I've gotten confirmation of OBC as early as the same day as emailing the request.

Quick question, I'm thinking of buying RCI stock as we sail with X also, heard there are restrictions and you cant always apply shareholder credit depending on the fare you have ? Have you ever had issues where they wouldn't apply it?? Thanks in adavance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the electronic submission, they email an updated invoice which notes the OBC. When I emailed my OBC request, they would reply to my email stating the OBC was applied. I don't recall what they did when requesting via fax. You can also look at Cruise Planner and it should show the OBC for your sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever had issues where they wouldn't apply it?? Thanks in adavance I believe RCG officially adjusted the combinability of the shareholder benefit around June 2019. Previously I read many complaints about it not being ‘stackable’ with other OBC, or the amount would be reduced if you had other OBC or promo’s. I believe many of the restrictions were removed and shareholders is combinable with most fares and other OBC on RCCL. I do not know if Celebrity has lifted its restrictions.

shoptom Posted July 20, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2021 After previous success with that online form, I was surprised when they didn't respond to my most recent submissions, twice. After over a month, I emailed the info instead and it was confirmed the same day. Although they reported twice what I was supposed to receive and that it would not show in my account until after on board. Is anyone else not able to use stockholder credit now?

suekay Posted July 20, 2021 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I didn't realise that shareholder benefit is now combinable. We sold our shares when it proved virtually impossible to get the OBC as most fares seemed to be on promo/have other OBC. Might take a look at buying more. I don't know the current valuation as we bought our last lot for about $6 and sold at a profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexgtp Posted July 20, 2021 Author #13 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I saw the OBC was applied when I logged into my cruise planner. I don't sail until DEC31st. I have never had luck in the past sending it via email. Guess it all depends on what day you send something if email or electronic works best. LOL.

As soon as you have a confirmed reservation (booking number). Must hold a minimum of 100 shares and the OBC will only be granted to the reservation that the shareholder is on.

firefly333 Posted March 4, 2022 #23 Share Posted March 4, 2022 1 hour ago, irishgal432 said: how much is the obc? $50 for my shorter cruises on grandeur, $100 for 7 up to 14 days. Has to be 14 days to get $250 I believe. My vision is 11 days and still at $100. There are 3 amounts anyway possible. It could be $200 for 14 days just woke up and dont have it in front of me, someone will look it up. Could be its carnival does $250 for 14 days. Get carnival and rcl mixed up but my longest is vision at 11 days. So doesnt matter. $100. Like I said it was carnival I last read and they are slightly different. I am sure it's only $50 for my short grandeur and $100 for the rest of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondo Posted March 4, 2022 #24 Share Posted March 4, 2022 This is the first time of having Royal stock. I emailed my request 2 weeks ago and only got the automated reply that it would be looked at in the order they received them. Checked in on my Royal account only to see no OBC has been added yet. Anyone have any experience lately and what has the timeframe been? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any experience lately and what has the timeframe been? I'm not sure what your definition of "lately" is but the last time I applied the OBC was about a year ago. I have never had to wait more than two weeks. In fact, it's usually only a couple days. This is the site I use. It says you can expect a response in 7 days.
