ShipWalker Posted November 7, 2023 #77 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I received the same message this morning. I downloaded the app, verified my email, entered personal information and the app shut off. Tried to restart it. It shut off. Deleted it, re downloaded it. Logged in. Same result. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Using iPhone6, iOS 15.8 Sent an email to Princess telling them to manually enter my OBC request. We shall see what happens.

Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted November 7, 2023 #78 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Wow! Now we get to start again with the same "journey" (and I am being very generous with that term) as we did with the Medallion app! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilboman Posted November 7, 2023 #79 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Emailed for shareholder benefit and got email to go through app. Easy peasy, you don't have to provide income, address and any other info if you don't want (just hit skip). Uploaded copy of the same statement I sent to princess, verified in like a hr and then applied for the shareholder obc They send email saying it's been submitted for princess Congratulations! Your request for an onboard credit for your upcoming cruise (Booking #: xxxxx departing on 2024-MM-DD) has been successfully submitted to Princess. We will be in touch with you in the next five (5) business days to either: Confirm that the credit has been applied to your cruise booking by Princess; or Request for more information regarding your application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare azbirdmom Posted November 8, 2023 #82 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Add me to the group that got the response that I had to request through the app. Had to open the email that I'd sent from my laptop on my phone to download the redacted brokerage statement page so a little bit of a headache but hopefully it works. If going forward it will just take a couple of clicks to get my shareholder OBC applied it will be a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor75 Posted November 8, 2023 #85 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I wonder if this is a way to reduce the number of OBC's or is Carnival saving money by outsourcing this, maybe both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted November 8, 2023 #88 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Thank you @azbirdmom. I wonder if Travel Agents are still able to do this for their clients. Fortunately, I don't have any cruises booked in the near future. Gives them time to work the bugs out and come up with a set plan. 3 hours ago, azbirdmom said: Yes, well they didn't use that exact verbiage but it was implied after they returned the documents that I had submitted via email to me.

Rare alanstarr Posted November 8, 2023 #90 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Downloaded the app, got my stock holdings approved pretty quickly.

I didn't get a notification from the app but I went back a couple of screens where you select Princess and then upload your brokerage statement. But instead it gave me the redeem screen where I entered my cruise. Got the up to 5 day response. So it's still a bit glitchy but at least I think I'm on track to get my SHOBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendymc55 Posted November 8, 2023 #96 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I just tried to StockPerks app but before completing my enrollment I read the end user privacy and disclosure agreement. It is terribly invasive. There must be another way to get the onboard credit. I have no intention of giving a third party the amount of personal information they want. https://www.stockperks.com/privacy Read the disclosure. Any suggestions for alternatives? Thanks! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted November 8, 2023 #97 Share Posted November 8, 2023 OK, we have a big issue with this Stockperks App. I just downloaded the app and subsequently registered after "skipping" the personal information section. Then used the default "Plaid" option which subsequently displayed one of their stockbroker selections that I have stock with. I then clicked on my broker's name and it took me to their Login screen where they want me to log on. This is where we have a huge issue. From this point on, the Stockperks app would have our login and password information and access to all of the stocks and mutual funds in our account. Sorry, that's not happening. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...I just read Post #19 and gave the link listed a chance. It does work. I took my last statement with the CCL stock listed and redacted everything on that page (in preview on Mac) except the stock name, amount of shares, date, and my name. Hope it works! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also received a second e-mail a few minutes later: Dear James, Thank you for your request for an onboard credit as part of the Carnival Corp & plc. Shareholder Benefit Program. Carnival Corp is implementing a more automated onboard credit request process in partnership with Stoerks. Please go to www.stockperks.com/carnivalcorp for all details about the program and how to apply for your onboard credit via the Stockperks app. Thank you for being a CCL shareholder! We look forward to welcoming you aboard. Kind regards, Ana Commercial Compliance Support 24303 Town Center Drive Santa Clarita, CA 91355 Looks like my first e-mail triggered this response. No indication on whether my first request was cancelled but went ahead and downloaded the app and sent the same stock info originally sent to Princess. Received a message verifying my ability to participate a couple hours later and officially requested credit. Not a fan of downloading an app that will be infrequently used but can appreciate the reasons behind it. And you know that there is $$$$ involved. No one in this day and age does anything like this without serious reimbursement. It would have been fun to eavesdrop on the sales pitch that http://stockperks.com made to Carnival to get their business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candy4040 Posted November 8, 2023 #100 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I just completed the on line app. I skipped through most of the input until it asked for the investment company information. It then brought me to the logon for my WF account and I logged in via the WF app which connected with the Plaid account. I was able to limit the information on my WF account to the investment only information. One thing that I could not do was requesting stockholder credit for cruises which begin after July 31, 2024. Not sure if this is because they are no longer going to give s/h credit or if they don't want to approve this early in the event you sell your stock between now and then. I really wish Princess had given us a bit more information as to how this works and what if any privacy concerns that may come up. Not sure what the problem was with the old way it was done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
