Onboard credit from TA

[cinnamoroll]

I’m considering transferring over existing reservations to a TA for the onboard credit. Are restrictions on what it can be used for? Can I apply it to a placeholder?

It gets applied to your onboard account, so any charges that go to that account. Anything like gratuities, excursions, tastings, beverage charges, souvenirs, etc. to to your onboard account. You don't really "apply" the OBC, it just comes off your total balance. Placeholders are a separate charge directly to your credit card.

Be aware that you only have 30 days to transfer a reservation to a TA, and many TA will give a reduced OBC for transferred reservations vs those made directly through the TA.

Thanks! What about using the credit to purchase a placeholder? Or can I only do that with a credit card?

I've always had to purchase my placeholder with the credit card on file, even if I have current OBC available. It shows up completely separate from regular on-board purchases.

Good to know. Thank you!
