Hey Marty - First I'd like to thank you for all the support with Redweek.
Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for my confirmation with them. I got a contract from Americap only after you called them - it arrived the last week of July. I returned it and confirmed with Chris that he had it. He said he would send it on to the seller, who would send me a gift certificate and I should see it in two weeks. I haven't seen anything yet, and I email Chris weekly. Chris had told me once that his typical transactions take 60 days and that most people don't mind because their travel plans were far in advance. I reminded him that he had our money right off the bat and we couldn't confirm that he was legitimate until we had confirmed the gift certificate with the resort.
As an FYI, the Better Business Bureau shows them as being in business since February, which either means they are a brand new company and therefore possibly inefficient, or they were a company prior and just switched over in February (a common thing for bad companies). I called the number on the BBB, which brought me to Jerry's home number (Chris's brother and president). He was surprised I had his home number - something that may come in handy if anyone feels like calling Jerry at home!
Please don't reinstate Americap until I get my gift certificate. I would also suggest that you not reinstate them until Mike and anyone else have their gift certificate, since it doesn't appear Americap has actually done any services without you prompting them to date. Perhaps you could suggest to Americap that they can only come back on Redweek if they agree to use escrow prior to getting the money since it would relieve you of having to chase them for every transaction?
thanks again for your help - LIsa
