Military OB Credit offer question

[atabs12]

Hello,

I was recently verified through Princess for the OBC military promotion. It states it shows up under profile online. I cant find it though? Will it take a while to post there? 
I also have a current booking and the OBC was not applied as of now. Does anyone have any insights on the time frame? TIA

I also had trouble with this.  Finally opened a chat session and told them exactly when I received the email from SheerID that military service had been verified.  My booked cruises were updated shortly thereafter.

I just went through this. I got the verification email and was really expecting something from Princess letting me know that it was posted. Never got any email. Finally, I went spelunking after a week of waiting. It actually took about 4 days from verification to posting on my account. You can look at your travel summary document, scroll down, more down, almost there. In a section called "Invoice" you should see a line item named "Military Benefits".

Once it is issued it can also be viewed by going to the Cruise Personalizer, select the Payments button and at the bottom under Credits the MOBC is displayed there. When checking cruise prices mine is also automatically shown in the online pricing summary.

I hope it shows up quickly...two good things to know about the military OBC:

1) it is refundable so if you don't use it you can have it as cash if it is less than $25 or credit to your card if it is more

2) it should automatically show up every time you sail with Princess in the future once you have done this (you don't have to reapply each time you cruise)

Thanks for posting this - I just signed up!

When I applied for the military OBC it didn't show up.  I finally called Princess and they were mystified also why it hasn't showed up.  They took care of it that day.

Has Princess finally gotten rid of sending you a check (in 6-8 weeks) if any excess refundable OBC (over $25) is remaining in your account at the end of your cruise? That would be great!

oh, I realize I am not certain...they only time we haven't spent it all was this past cruise on the Sapphire, the woman at the CS desk told me it would go on the CC (however she failed to tell me about the 'if it was over $25 part'...just told me I could either get it back the morning we disembarked or it would go to my CC) but they had so many new crew that she might have not actually known...the final invoice before I got our cash back said it "would be forwarded by mail"...I guess I should have left it at, you will get it back some day, some way...sorry about that!

No problem. But you did get my hopes up there for a second! 😂

They always say that. Another myth that "they always say"...no MDR open for lunch on embarkation day.

 

Watch the mail.
