If all attempts at spending OBC fail, then go to the front desk and have the remainder assigned to  crew gratuities.

I would definitely find something to spend it on rather than give more than is already automatically taken off you a gratuities on a daily basis.

We had thousands of $$ to spend on a nine day cruise two years ago and I couldn't be bothered chasing around spending every single $. I was more than happy to have the remainder assigned to the crew.

I am a little late in the day but can onboard spend be used to purchase bottles of wine to have with dinner at the Cunard restaurants.

Yes. Almost everything on board except casino and medical expenses.

Are there any instances where OBC is refundable?  What if your agent purchases onboard credit for you?

Use it or lose it.

The only exception that I'm aware of is that some people put cash on to their account at the start of the voyage in order to prevent / minimise a credit card charge - if unused, that cash is refundable.
