Yes, that’s true. We do all our bookings through Costco. We get the cash card when we get back from our cruise. And we get the 2% executive membership amount back at the end of the year, with the rest of the 2% cash back.
Also, I booked on board our last cruise to get the shipboard credit, and I transferred it to Costco. The process was pretty straightforward, although it takes a couple of calls and emails. I believe I will get both the onboard credit and the cash card. Not sure how the 2% works in this case (for executive members). I never thought to ask. It might be on the full amount minus the deposit. Or maybe I won’t get it at all...
Oh, and don’t forget the 2% Disney credit when you use your Disney Visa Premier card to pay for the booking!
