Stackable RCCL offers &/or Strategy
 

I'm a CruiseCritic member and cannot find answers to this so thought I'd post here.

I'm interested in getting a $200 RCCL eGift card offered though participating in my health insurance's wellness plan. It doesn't have a lot of terms/conditions to it but I know it must be used on a new booking & cannot be used for OBC. T&C do not mention anything about not able to combine it with anything. My biggest question is whether or not I can use it for any of their sales events, including their Tuesday sales & BOGO. I would think it would be treated as cash, but hoping someone with experience would know. The card does not expire, but if I can't use it towards a great deal then I probably shouldn't get it.

I was also wondering if it is combinable with MyVegas Rewards. For many people (especially on the CC website) this is a sore subject. I do understand how the % off works if one were to take that route. Some of the OBC prizes state for New Bookings only (same as the eGift card!). OBC ranges from $100-300 depending on length of cruise and if it qualifies on their list of itineraries (Any of those would work for me!).

I am also a RCCL shareholder so could potentially get credit for that. I know that's not combinable with MyVegas or on most of their sales, but wondering if I'd still get that if I used an eGift card. (I feel I should, but......)

Verizon Wireless has a rewards program and one can get a $100 certificate for $90. Again, this is for new bookings only. This brings up more questions! Do purchases go through Verizon so use a Chase Ink card to get the 5x bonus? Also, can these be stacked with an eGift card that I mentioned?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Even if you can't answer my specific questions but have experience (even with a difference cruise line), please share.

Most RCCL stuff is not combinable, but I can't say anything about the gift cards.


The shareholder credit in particular is usually not combinable with any other discounts.

Shareholder benefit is not combinable with most anything else. However, I'm thinking a gift card towards the purchase of a cruise should work. If you have a travel agent, have them contact RCL on your behalf and ask. If not, it wouldn't hurt to give them a call....but I'm leaning towards you being able to use it and get either your shareholder credit OR your Crown & Anchor discount if applicable.
