Did some research online and on the forum here looking up the RCI stockholder benefits.

It's clear that you must purchase a minimum of 100 shares but I am still unclear about if the stockholder discount can be applied in addition to other promotions or discounts.  Previously I don't think you could combine them but I thought I read a blog post  that the rules had changed and now you can.   Is that true?   Apologies but I can't find the thread where I read it.

I understand the risk/rewards of purchasing stock and was going to do it anyway.   But with 5 cruises booked, it would be great to get the extra discount.

Thanks @Matt and @bobroo for the clarifications.   Understand it may be offered as OBC instead of discount, but I'm fine with that.

Obviously I am hoping it will be a good investment, but I will report back on how well the stockholder benefit works out.

This is still a very small sample set, but it continues to tell a consistent story (see the three inflection points).  We just got assigned our room number (14 days from sailing).  I can also verify the the "Apple Wallet" hack worked.  We knew over 40 days ago what our GTY Balcony was.

As always, if you have data, just reply and I will add to the spreadsheet.

Suggest you look at Radiance sailings 2/9 and 2/25/02 . Large no of GTY and majority not assigned 7 days prior to sailing

Usually RC add my shareholder benefit to my OBC . However with the latest reservation in 2021 they state that I am eligible for $100. for 7 day cruise.

At time of booking I was awarded an OBC $100.-

Total OBC still stands at $100.- whilst expecting total $200.-  Can anyone clarify
