It is a Costco card. I have heard some people have taken them to customer service and gotten them cashed out but since we spend that easily in store we have no reason to find out. You go to their travel website, create a login, and shop the cruise you want. It is very similar to doing it directly with DCL. I will say that the prices shown publicly are more than the prices listed on the DCL site, I don't know why, but if you are logged in you will see the prices are exactly the same as if you were booking through DCL.With Costco does the rewards come on a cash card that can be used anywhere or is it a costco card?
Whats the details with this? Is it as simple as being a Costco member, booking through Costso and them sending you a "cash card" worth 85-9% of your cruise?
For me, I am very hands on and have researched and dug in to the archives here so I feel confident that I can handle it myself. As such, I went through Costco. For people that want the help of someone knowledgeable then another TA such as DU is a great option. Just remember that travel agents are independent contractors who work on commission. Just like other such businesses such as insurance or investments, you will find some great people and some not-so-great. You will find people who worry more about their commission check than anything, but you will find those who give great service to both the 3-night inside cabin client and the 14-night verandah client. I have seen an agent lie and yell at a client who thought of going with another agent for higher OBC, but have to imagine those are few and far between. Just do some homework before committing to an agent, know what they offer and what others offer, and make the choice you feel comfortable with.
