Yes, so I ended up booking the Destiny for 2027. It was my first time booking with Costco, and for some reason, their system gave me a new Castaway Club number. I called and spent over 50 minutes getting them to update my Castaway Club number. Do I have to do this every time? The Costco representative said yes, probably.

No you won't need to do that. When you book, just make sure your name and birthdate are exactly like what it shows on your DCL Castaway club. If there's a name change or a typo, it might trigger a new number, but other than that, as soon as Costco or any travel agent enters me into a reservation, my Castaway club number automatically comes up.

Good morning!

I am considering trying for a Chase Checking Account bonus. I have a tiny bit of extra cash that I can divert to a new account.

I know there is a direct deposit requirement. Would it be sufficient if I amended my current direct deposit to put, say, $5/pay check into the new Chase account? Would that satisfy the requirement?

Is there anything else you think I should know before doing this? I know there needs to be a minimum balance $1500) kept in the Chase account in order to avoid a monthly fee.

Thank you!
