Hi Rick,
I am a NEW business owner of Cruise Planners/ American Express **Company Name Deleted for Conversation**. Here's my basic thoughts: gift certificate, $X (to be determined...), to be redeemed thru me, leaving from any embarkation port, for any cruise 3 nites or longer, 2 people or more, to be used within 1 year, it is transferable & sell-able, but not redeemable for cash. I'd be willing to donate up to a $500. gift cert.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? I am open!!! My goals are to promote myself, as well as help you guys. Can you please assist with encouraging people to "LIKE" my website, post that I will be making a donation, etc... I would greatly appreciate it. If you would like to talk, my cell phone is: XXX-XXX-XXXX. .
Thanks,

My questions, if you were at a Charity Auction and there was a pair of $250 gift vouchers (they must be redeemed through this company) would you bid on them? they ARE Transferrable and resellable. - and how much would you 'value' (How high would you bid?)

Thanks

Geez thats a hard one. I have no idea how to answer.

I dunno either but usually if you are asking if it is "too good"? It is.

stick with reputable corps and be careful with the 'likes' you pass around...you could be just a click away from being hacked or having your info stolen. Better safe than sorry.

Ahhh that is why I come to my bully buddies

I have been speaking with this lady, and it does seem on the up and up. What it basically is, would be a tax break for her, creating her new business.

$500 Gift Certificate to be redeemed through her company - her commission on a longer cruise is about $350-400 so a net loss of $100, but for that $100 she gets advertisment, and her name out there. (I'm still looking into it though, I wouldnt want anyone to lose even $20 on a gift certificate that was worthless.

nah.... sty away that seems to be a scam to me

 

[TandVsMom]

Seems questionable for sure. But, I'm a skeptic by nature.

Scam or not I can say I wouldn't bid on such a thing in a charitable auction either. it just wouldn't sound appealing. I don't like bidding on things that are just part of having to spend a lot more money to redeem.

you would have to book with that company which limits your shopping around for the best price..
