Entering Crown and Anchor# Causing OBC to be Removed

[islandchicklet]

I need some quick advice.  I am trying to book a JS for October on Harmony and I got a price + 600 OBC.  When I enter my C&A # the price drops by 225 for my balcony discount but I lose the 600.00.  I would much rather have the 600 for obvious reasons.  I wish it would give me a choice.  A JS will give me double points so obviously I want them but can I just claim the cruise after the fact to be able to keep the OBC.  This shouldn't be this hard 😜

Exactly why I don't book online and rather call RC or use a TA to book. Give them all my details for the cruise and let them tell me if I keep or loose something.

I assume you mean entering your C&A number as part of the first step in the booking wizard?

That shouldn't matter. Just leave it off for that step then enter it on the checkout page.

I didn't sign in and when I add # to the check out page it refigures the cruise and removes the OBC.  I have redone it multiple times hoping to get a different result.  😜  I know it is supposed to automatically give you the "best" deal but this isn't the best deal lol.

That stinks. It's trying to apply the C&A discount which trumps the current promo.

Yep, gotta call or work with a TA

Yeah, I hate calling but I guess I have no choice.  And of course, I will have to call 12 times to get 2 answers that seem similar.

 

THANKS for your input!

I booked a cruise yesterday on the Brilliance out of San Juan for 1/26. Guarantee Balcony. Just checked the price today with the OBC promo and it is $600 more than it was yesterday without the OBC…

You can't combine any cash offers with your C&A discount.

Book online without entering your C&A. Problem solved. If it doesn't appear in your account on its own, you can pull it in with the booking number. You'll still get credit. 😉

I am not trying to combine. I just want the 600 OBC instead of the 225 for the Balcony/Suite discount.

Yep, that is what I have decided to do.  Thanks!

Yeah I noticed price differences also from yesterday but I couldn't make up my mind on the Ship so I waited until today.  But at least since I decided to book Wonder instead of Harmony so I will spend way less.

Hello,

 

And that's exactly why I use a TA - let him have all the aggravation.

Exactly what my TA told me as well. The RC sale price we got was better than our CA discount.

Suites are getting a great deal.  don't enter your C&A number and the price went up by $150 but clients received $600 in OBC...no brainer on what to do

[Harrisonkid]

My experience is that every time I check in.. it won't let me continue with my C+A number in...so I have to delete my CA number and then it allows me to continue

If you leave your crown and anchor number off your reservation, how do you get points for the cruise?

You add it to the booking after completing the reservation.

Thanks Biker19.
