Nate Y Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I started playing myVEGAS games on PC and mobile when I saw Matt's video on how to get a free cruise. Shortly after I started, the free cruise rewards were always sold out until they were taken down completely, but there are still rewards for low percentage discounts, onboard credit, and casino freeplay available. I recently used the 10% off wildcard discount to book a cruise in January, but it comes with the slight drawback of having to use RC's internal travel agents instead of my own. I was also able to score some free and discounted drinks on my recent trip to vegas, and may be able to use it locally now they've added a bowling partner. Anyone else grinding away on myVEGAS primarily to take some of the sing off cruise prices? Anyone get a freebie before they were taken down? Its a pity the free ones are discontinued, I have enough credits now for what would have been two 4 day cruises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joberry57 Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I've always missed out on the free cruises. I did get a $100 OBC on my last cruise. Unfortunately they now require the sailing to be within 12 months and both of my upcoming cruises are too far out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayleigh Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 My husband was lucky enough to "win" the "free" cruise. Granted this isn't the itinerary or ship we would like, but for the price it will be just fine (especially after this past year) When we called to book the cruise we asked about cabin upgrades. If we kept the inside cabin, we would have only paid about $98 (tax and port fees). We decided to upgrade to a balcony cabin and only paid $469! On our cruise last January, I had enough saved up to get a $50 on board credit (I think my husband did too and we were able to combine to get $100 OBC). I tried to get the $100 OBC for this cruise and unfortunately you can only redeem one benefit/person/booking. Nate Y 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Y Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Indeed, I was sad I couldn't get the casino freeplay on top of the 10% off. Grats on the free-ish cruise tho. Kayleigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I didn't have enough points before the freebie cruises were removed (thanks COVID) but I did get enough to add on $100 OBC which was great and I still have points left over. I haven't opened the app much since the pandemic, but I will get back into it now that cruises are coming back. I imagine the freebies might come back by 2022 when cruises are more back to normal.

cdixon22 Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I have used the $100 on board credit reward on two cruises now. I just book online myself, follow directions on reward then once applied I transfer to my TA. I have had no issues, knock on wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get OBC's whenever possible or 10% off. I have always used my own TA and never had any issues with that. Never had to use another agent just to get these offers.

Wilson Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 No free cruises, but have redeemed for about $800 in obc. Redeemed for several BOGO adult beverages, meals and attractions while in Vegas in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received between 100k-500k Loyalty Points each time. I cycle through their other mobile apps such as Konami, Blackjack and Pop Slots. It is the easiest way to collect enough Loyalty Points for the $100 OBC voucher. CrimsonCruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Y Posted August 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Surprised to see they now have tons of listings for free three day cruises out of California, though of course they are all sold out. Doesn't do me much good, but I hope someone else can grab one when/if they restock. CrimsonCruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMarc Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 You pretty much have to check the rewards everyday. You can also join a group called MyVegas Friends https://www.facebook.com/groups/OriginalMyVegasFriends and follow the rewards refresh post. This is the second group of cruises I have seen post COVID. I've gotten 1 out of Galveston in December and one of the 3 day out of LA. There does not appear to be any pattern, so who knows when they will add more. I believe they may be planning to revive their rewards from Carnival and NCL at some point in the future, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadster Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 I've also been able to use the 10% and a $100 OBC reward. I took a break from MyVEGAS for a while, but now I'm back and continuing to play, and have a nice amount of reward points socked away for if and when new RC rewards come sailing along.

San Diego Garrett Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Last week I won the $100 OBC which I put towards our November cruise. I had booked that cruise about 4 weeks before winning that prize. A couple days ago I won the 10% off prize, which I am putting towards our June '22 cruise. That cruise we booked a couple months ago. I'm still waiting for the confirmation on that one though. Crossing my fingers there was no fine print to deny that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reward has an expiration date (November 12 right now) and must be used within 30 days of the original reservation. There are also limits on combining it with some other offers. For example I cannot use it on a cruise I booked with a MyVegas reward. As with all rules though, your mileage may vary, but it has gotten much better since there is a specific MyVegas team within the Casino Royale team to work with the rewards.

Once you redeem award you have 30 days to apply it to a new cruise. Usually sailing within 1 year. So, I book cruise and then redeem a reward right away. I just did 2 of them this week.

I just meant you can redeem for both...getting one doesn't preclude you from getting the other. I'm calling tomorrow to put the 10% on one upcoming cruise, and the OBC on another.

Chadster Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 By the by...does anybody have any experience with getting MyVegas points refunds after a cancellation? I know that customer service was doing them for the cruises RCCL cancelled in the Dark Times, but just curious if plans were to change and I had to cancel, are they as receptive to the refund requests?

Howie Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 How many $100 OBC's can you use on the same cruise? Can you stack the OBC and use $500 OBC's on the same cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can stack their OBC on top of other offered OBC (i used it with TA offered OBC and had no issues). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
