Leftover FCC to be reissued as OBC

[Ourusualbeach]

Just announced today on the coffee talk that for those FCC's redeemed going forward if there is a leftover amount it will be issued as an OBC on the sailing that the FCC was redeemed on as opposed to another FCC.

Refundable?

That was not mentioned

Another way for quick disposal of all the FCCs rather than creating another one for the remaining balance.  I’m sure they want to get them all out of their hair ASAP.

I like this idea although I have no unused FCCs.

Disney has been doing this for quite a while (we had over $1300pp on Christmas cruise).  Not going to affect us since all our FCC have been used up this year.  Thanks Ken for info.

Just used part of a $1000 FCC today to make final payment on a sailing. I guess it was before this announcement as I was advised the remaining $78 would be issued as a new FCC in two weeks. Doesn't matter to me either way.

Doesn’t matter - you can cash it out in the casino via slot machine.

Thanks Ken. All our FCCs are gone now thankfully.

Wasn't there an announcement at one point that you could trade FCC's to another household member? We have "grandpa" who got FCC from a Feb 2020 cruise because it was shortened due to Covid scare. He will never ever cruise again but I'd love to get the FCC transferred. Don't know where to even start with that. If this is a thing though, It might be worthwhile for me to call in

That’s as maybe - still nice to know the facts and whether that would be necessary.

Can they help at C&A number or do I need to call general CS?

I'd try C&A first.  You may actually need to call post cruise guest relations.  It will need to be the grandfather that calls

Thanks, last question before I call in. I don't know the FCC number to check that amount. Is that something I can find online before I call? Only form I found is to check balance, but you have to know the FCC number. I'm logged into grandpa's account and don't see anything there.

You just need the reservation that it was issued from and they can find the FCC.  No way to find it online unless you booked through a TA then they can look it up.

I predict many drunken passengers... 🤔

Our last certificate had leftover and we carried it over to another booking. The phone rep was really good but it seemed like it was a real hassle for her to get it done. We were on hold several times.

I handled my situation via my TA, who requested a letter signed by the holder(s) and indicate who the FCCs to be transferred. 

 

The other option that I was successful, was having my son on the phone with me when I called C&A Desk and was able to transfer the FCC to my name over the phone. 

 

Must have an open booking for the transfer to occur.
