2SailingNomads Posted April 16, 2023 #52 Share Posted April 16, 2023 On 3/30/2023 at 3:30 PM, MightyQuinn said: We purchased 100 CCL shares for $2419 in April 2009. Out of interest, I went back and added up the shareholder OBC that has been credited to our cruises since then. We initially received $900 on HAL and another $2350 when we graduated to Seabourn. We also have $250 credited on our upcoming Seabourn booking for a grand total of $3500 in shareholder OBC. Of course, we spent a fair amount to purchase those cruises and our CCL shares are now only worth $879, but we have more than recouped their initial cost in OBC, without even accounting for dividends. I totally agree with you i don't know offhand what we paid probably close to what you did but between dividends and OBC are ahead (15 cruises *250 plus the one 7 day at 100 or 125 I forget) and another $250 for our next cruise and the stock still has some value. Hopefully CCL figures out a way to become profitable and work its way out of the big debt load it carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We received the automatic receipt response at 1:22 PM, and a confirmation of OBC at 3:42 PM. In the past, it has generally taken 3 or 4 days for a response with the OBC. This less than 6 hour process maybe is to make up for your delays. 🤥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleyben Posted January 18 #57 Share Posted January 18 I have just tried to get the shareholder benefit applied to a forthcoming cruise and have discovered that there is now a new procedure in place. With immediate effect you now have to upload your proof of share ownership on the StockPerks App. They will no longer accept any faxed, emailed or hard copy proof of eligibility. I have followed the new procedure and I am awaiting confirmation. Interestingly they only requested my full name and e mail address. They did not ask for the booking details of my forthcoming cruise. I will post the result of my application as it progresses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2SailingNomads Posted January 20 #58 Share Posted January 20 Regent is so much easier. Email it like Seabourn used to do, why do we want a 3rd party app seeing details of what we own? So much for new President fixing things I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingsoon Posted January 20 #59 Share Posted January 20 Stockperks worked pretty well for me. The portfolio confirmation took four business days to complete and then the 'redeem perk' process was completed the same day. One thing I did to avoid having random people see my entire portfolio was to segregate my CCL shares into its own separate account at my brokerage.

Charleyben Posted January 22 #60 Share Posted January 22 I have received conformation of my Carnival shareholding by e mail. It tells me to go the Stockperk App.to redeem the benefit and I cannot find any information on their App. to allow me to do this do this. Can anyone advise me how to proceed.

You will then need to upload your proof of ownership to the StockPerks app. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleyben Posted January 23 #62 Share Posted January 23 Thanks Tooty Jane. I have the App which acknowledges my holding of Carnival Stock. The problem I have is when I go into Eligible Perks it tells me that there are no perks found. This is despite an e mail telling me to go to App and download the perk. I will have to contact them to get it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleyben Posted January 25 #63 Share Posted January 25 Just an update. I received a response from Stockperk this morning telling me that they have a problem with their App.which they are currently dealing with. They will inform me when they have resolved it and then I will be able to claim the perk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alexandria Posted January 25 #64 Share Posted January 25 Quick question...can the OBC from CCL stock ownership be combined with the Seabourn OBC for a referred new guest? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlyingScotSailors Posted January 25 #65 Share Posted January 25 Quick answer: Yes. We do this frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capri73 Posted January 25 #66 Share Posted January 25 They recently told me that a referral credit cannot be combined with a OBC, The Stock credit can be combined with OBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure that I understand your post. Referral OBC can not be combined with other Seabourn provided OBC; you will be given the higher of the two credits, not the total. OBC from other sources, such as your travel agent, can be combined with the referral credit. Shareholder credit can be combined with either of the other OBCs.

johng75370 Posted January 25 #69 Share Posted January 25 (edited) 45 minutes ago, FlyingScotSailors said: OBC from other sources, such as your travel agent, can be combined with the referral credit. That’s not what we found. Seabourn told us that the Amex provided OBC (or our TA provided OBC) could not be combined with referral credit. Only Seabourn provided OBC can be combined with the referral credit. It certainly reduces the value of the program (and came as a surprise - we found out only when the credits did not appear onboard). Our TA missed it. Here’s the link to the terms and conditions, where it states you cannot combine the referral credit with third-party OBC: https://www.seabourn.com/en/us/terms#referafriend Edited January 25 by johng75370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alexandria Posted January 26 #70 Share Posted January 26 I learned from my TA, confirmed by Seabourn, that Seabourn does not permit both a referred new guest credit (I'm new to Seabourn) and OBC provided by the TA on the same sailing but my TA wasn't certain about the shareholder credit. It sounds as though the shareholder credit, however, can be combined with the referral credit. Thanks all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleyben Posted January 26 #71 Share Posted January 26 Today I was able to successfully claim my 'perk'. I received an e mail confirmation and was told that they my claim has been sucessfully submitted to Seabourn and they would be in touch within the next five working days. Presumably to confirm that Seabourn has applied it to my account. When I received confirmation of the eigible benefits it covered all of the Carnival Cruise Lines. I would guess that this system is being applied to all of their fleet. I think it is safe to say that this new procedure has been adopted for Carnival's benefit and not for that of their clients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
where-to-next Posted January 27 #72 Share Posted January 27 Hi Charleyben, I have just downloaded the App and claimed my perk. My email states Stockperks is reviewing my submission and will respond in two working days with the next steps. Interestingly the application wanted to know my income (I skipped that page) but not my booking reference or sailing details! I await with bated breath!

Charleyben Posted January 27 #73 Share Posted January 27 Had confirmation today that the on board credit has been applied To my on board account. I believe that Stockperks is also a brokerage thus the question re. Income. I skipped that one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroyshere Posted February 25 #74 Share Posted February 25 Carnival Corporation's website says the OBC for shareholders is "applicable on sailings through July 31, 2024." Anyone know if this benefit will be extended to cruises booked beyond this date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylandtk Posted February 25 #75 Share Posted February 25 An excellent question. There are current threads on the other Carnival-owned lines dissecting the verbiage of the Annual Report and its lack of mention (unlike years past). The answer is not yet clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
