Rare Btimmer Posted September 28, 2021 Author #26 Share Posted September 28, 2021 We almost always book through a TA, so we don't have access to our statement until we board and I choose to not chase it down through our TA. Like was suggested above, I bring the printed confirmation that the SH credit has been posted in case it doesn't show up in our onboard statement. 5 more days until our 3 week cruise starts and we are definitely counting it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted September 28, 2021 #27 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I did book through a TA but I sent the SH info in via email myself. I always keep the email response. I just had a look at it and it says the credit will be applied once I'm on board. I did not get an updated confirmation after it was approved. So, I'm not really sure why the OBC shown on my latest confirmation is what it is. Would be nice if the detail were available somewhere. Well, I'll find out when I board, won't I? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OBC is applied to your account when the shareholder OBC is processed. I think what they are trying to say in their confirming email is that you will be able to use it once you are on board. It’s not the best wording but I think that is the message they are trying to get across 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always found that my TA has the information as to whether the shareholder OBC has been applied. Have you checked with him or her to see if it can be confirmed as having been applied?

Rare FlaMariner Posted September 30, 2021 #30 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Sent email request for shareholder benefit on Monday 9/27...received confirmation back Wednesday 9/29....and then received new travel receipt from big box TA confirming the shareholder benefit had been applied on 9/29 also. Email is the way to go with this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare zgscl Posted October 1, 2021 #32 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I just got my most recent one in 36 hours. I have found faster results when emailing them when they are open (vs sending in the middle of the night or on a weekend). Maybe just luck of the draw but have found that pretty consistently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretchendz Posted October 5, 2021 #33 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I emailed my request in last week for a Nov. 7 2021 cruise. Received it within a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raesive Posted January 13, 2022 #34 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I emailed my request on 1/5/22, and got confirmation today that we got it. This was my first time, so excited to get it! I also got an updated "booking confirmation" email with the amount showing on it. Booked directly, so no TAs to deal with. Final payment date is Monday, so unsure what would happen if it had been granted after that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not affect what you owe as a final payment. It is meant to be spent onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to worry, Just make sure to take printed copies of your submission (with the verifying documents) along on your cruise. If you do not see the credit on your onboard account by the 2nd day of the cruise, just visit the Guest Relations counter (with copies of your submission) and ask for help.

Another member of the JIC society here! (Just in Case!). I know it is a completely different situation over here, but on Monday evening I applied for the stockholder obc (August cruise) by email to HAL UK and received confirmation and updated Booking Confirmation by mid day Tuesday. Pretty Good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
