spiralqueen Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 @ama537621 The screencap I posted is from the "Rewards Terms and Conditions" page. I agree that it is worded very confusingly. The only reason I knew about the 30 day thing was because I had seen people here talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_Collins Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Can it be added if you used a travel agent and didn’t book with RC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlohaLivin Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 On 3/18/2019 at 4:24 PM, spiralqueen said: Were you told that by Royal? According to MyVEGAS, while you have to use the points within 14 days of redeeming the reward, it can be used on a sailing that is within 30 days of booking. I have been told that repricing a cruise resets that clock. I found that confusing too. If you take it literally, it’s suggest that you could only use it on a cruise booked 30 day or less out!? Some specify both the 30 days and give the “use within 14 days” also! I would like to use the 50,000 that I have accumulated for a $100 onboard credit for our May cruise, however .... @monctonguy I started it a couple months ago now - there are lots of tricks to getting free money, including signing on frequently and daily to get Higher multiples. You also get higher points for having more friends playing (feel free to add me and then check my friend’s list for other adds; I’m under “Lynn Vegas” there ). Those friends who play can offer free points to you in various ways (through “gifts”, by playing and posting wins, by sharing rewards, etc). I rarely run out of money now, but I did at first before learning these methods. You will pretty quickly learn the tricks! The best thing is to get all four of the MyVegas apps (pop!, Konami. Blackjack and myvegas slots). If you link them all to your Facebook account the points accumulate whether you play the apps them separately or simultaneously on different devices). There are a few you can let run on auto for longer periods and that is what I try to do (pop! wants me to pay attention ) @ZiggyZaggers I’m confused - that seems impossible unless you see buying a LOT of chips yourself (vs free ones) and you are playing 24/7 and even then I cannot imagine collecting half that many. Is it possible that you’re looking at the amount of money that you have one instead of the amount of loyalty points earned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Thanks for the tips....I have tried most of what you have mentioned....except the Blackjack game..may try that..the more the merrier.....!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 So, am I understanding this right? You have to redeem it within 14 days of booking (or repricing) a cruise, and the cruise must sail within 30 days? Who books that close in?

When you redeem your points in the app, you get a redemption code to give to Royal. You have 14 days to use that code before it expires. This code can be used on a sailing that has been booked in the last 30 days. The cruise must sail within a year. monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who worded that should be fired If I wrote research papers like that I would’ve been booted to the curb. From what I understand from my recent deep dive is that the “14 day” requirement is not about the actually sailing date but when you call RCL to have it applied to the cruise you booked within the last 30 days? That isn’t close to what it says! It still is a ridiculously narrow window, but at least they aren’t expecting me to book cruises mere weeks out! I have also learned that on cruises where there is a casino-related discount they cannot be used (and those discounts are too good to give up) - I guess I will check my other voucher options.

It’s the 14 day issue that is throwing us... it says 14 days to use it when it means 14 days to apply it to a cruise (one you booked in the last 30 days). The sail date can (apparently, I cannot swear to this part) be during the next 1 year but you have to call and APPLY it to the reservation in the 14 days after getting it. I know, nuts! And not at all what is written. So if I am understanding correctly you would be fine if the sail date was in the next year Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forwarded email to my TA as well letting her know that I did send directly to Club Royale who handles the MyVegas vouchers. In your case, forward the email with the vouceher code to the TA and they can contact Club Royale. The key is that you need to use the voucher code within 14 days of receiving it and apply it to a cruise within 30 days of booking. You do not need to have the voucher before or at the time you book. Like I mentioned - I booked the cruise, then cashed the points for the voucher and then sent the email to Club Royale (not ROyal). In your case you send the voucher to the TA and they send it or call Club Royale. To be honest, there is no reason to have the TA do it - they don't gain anything nor do you from involving them IF you use it for OBC. If you are suing it for upgrades or something else then definitely consult with the TA before you book the cruise and let them know what you are thinking about. I've only used it for OBC so far.... monctonguy and spiralqueen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely felt silly asking her to do such a simple task once I realized that I would have been able to do it myself in literally 30 seconds. For future OBC uses I will definitely just handle this myself by forwarded the redemption code to Club Royale along with my reservation information. monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crappy thing is the group price was the exact same price as the RCCL web price. So this was a case where I lost money booking with a TA. It happens, and going forward I wouldn't apply it to group cruises. I'm saving up for the 1,000,000 point Oasis class cruise they offer around Christmas for sailing in January anyway.
