I was automatically given bonuses on my 2014 annual cruise that I took in March. I didn't know to ask so it was a pleasant surprise.

Harry,
Whether you're offered NCL general bonuses apparently depends entirely on the person you're speaking to. When I booked my last cruise, the Casinos at Sea person freely offered the bonuses in effect at the time. So it would pay to check what's being offered, as you said.

NCL is offering handsome booking incentives lately to the general public. We discovered that they will extend these to comped bookings as well.
We just returned from the NCL Getaway, booked in a PH cabin courtesy of redeemed 7* Sig Exp credits. Our added freebies (through mention of the current advertised promo offer) were free Ultimate Beverage package, free Ultimate Dining package, stateroom daily gratuities, and $100 spa credit. This represents approx $1400 in featured benefits, and for us realized approx $800+ in out of pocket savings vs typical on-board add-ons.
It's important to note that they won't automatically offer these bonuses when you call to book. You must ask for the offer. (Benefits vary by stateroom type ... see NCL.com for more details)

Hi ! I was wondering what happens when you unlink accounts.
Are the points divided evenly? Any help or experience will be appreciated.
Thanks.

NCL is offering handsome booking incentives lately to the general public. We discovered that they will extend these to comped bookings as well.
We just returned from the NCL Getaway, booked in a PH cabin courtesy of redeemed 7* Sig Exp credits. Our added freebies (through mention of the current advertised promo offer) were free Ultimate Beverage package, free Ultimate Dining package, stateroom daily gratuities, and $100 spa credit. This represents approx $1400 in featured benefits, and for us realized approx $800+ in out of pocket savings vs typical on-board add-ons.
It's important to note that they won't automatically offer these bonuses when you call to book. You must ask for the offer. (Benefits vary by stateroom type ... see NCL.com for more details)

Mickey Electronic computational power is cheaper than the people they used to have to employ to build tax cases so it will not cost them too much extra for the chance to scoop up more tax fish.
Some of the . 25 low rollers might take it as a point of pride that their once every other year RF on 7/5 JoB made the IRS take note of them even if they had no net winnings.
Last year there was a story about people selling comps at the Sands PA. That might be the tip of the iceberg in terms of moving money around or just cleaning it up.

They will lose my business if this happens. All my spending money will be on better booze and younger hookers.
Miss you on that "other" board by the way.

LMAO! Who'd a thunk it? But yes, the IRS is up to it's old shenanigans of trying to screw everybody again, the gamblers, the casinos and maybe even themselves if this new proposal gets adopted. They put the $1200 threshold into effect in 1977. In 2015 dollars that's about $4600 today. Has the IRS ever adjusted the threshold for inflation? Heck, no. Why would they do that? Inflation has worked in their favor all these years.
The $600 threshold would wreak havoc on higher denom players and casinos alike, and maybe even the IRS. I think a lot of recreational players would simply quit playing at those levels if they have to sit around waiting on W2'G's all day. Consequently, less profit for the casinos, lless taxes for the state, less taxes for the IRS.
For lower denoms we could all be looking at different payscales. For example, take FP Kings or Better Joker Poker at the 25 cent denom (now 100.6463%). Adjust the Royal payout to 460 for 1, the 5K payout to 250 for 1, and the JR to 130 for 1 and you have a 100.6459% game.
I'm sure the casinos will fight this tooth and nail. But I think state governments need to get into action against it too, and gamblers everywhere need to jump on the bandwagon against the rule change. If anything, it should be adjusted the other way. I think we all need to flip this thing over on the IRS. The level needs to be adjusted the other way....raising the W2-G threshold to at least $4000.
