    Still Waiting for SBR to Reimburse My Airfare as Promised
    I'm hoping someone from SBR will see this post and kindly help me out. I am still owed approximately $700.00 for my airfare to IFBC as promised to me and the other raffle winners. We were initially told we'd receive cash on Saturday at the conference and then that was later changed to a promise to be paid via PayPal on Saturday. At the conference, the timeline was changed again to Monday. Now I am being told I might need to wait until Friday. Can someone please take care of mine today? Or could you possibly just PayPal me $300.00 of it now and I'll wait for the rest? Due to a boneheaded mistake whereby I lost my main credit card in Mexico City last week, I really need the promised reimbursement today. I have a PayPal debit card and was planning on receiving my funds yesterday and completing my trip home to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. As it stands now, I'm stranded in Mexico City with no funds for a hotel or a bus ticket home. I have access to other funds when I get home, but I'm really screwed at the moment. Can someone at SPR please help me out?

    Good Luck and I don't doubt SBR will come through.

    The Mexico City story could get interesting.

    But I think the crowd in this thread is going to get real tough.

    Good Luck.

        Yeah, I'm sure everyone will call me a broke loser or whatever. It's not like I don't have money at all. I just don't have access to it at the moment. I have no doubt that SBR will come through; I'm just hoping they can expedite mine, as I was promised that I'd receive it yesterday.

          Help me understand all this. I'd think your "credit card" you lost in "Mexico" could over night you a new card or at least get a customer service rep on the phone to get you a credit approved.

            They did send me a new one but to my address in SMA. Perhaps I can have them send another one to me here, but that doesn't solve the immediate problem. There's no such thing as international overnight, at least as far as I know.

              goater Jesus Christ man. Get a supervisor on the phone from your credit card co & tell them the issue. I'm sure they can talk to an agent & get you a ticket.

                Did everyone SBR sent down there get their airfare reimbursed or just some?

                    I don't know. All I know is that I and the 4 other raffle winners were promised free airfare. There were some other drawing winners who are supposed to get it as well.

                      Goater we told you not to spend your last $200 on hookers at The Del Ray. You wouldn't listen

                        Goatman do you ever play Ventanas de San Miguel?

                        Do you ever buy pineapple from that lady with the checkered top on Portal Allende?

                            You say "main" credit card, why don't you just use another card or your debit card?

                              So, you signed up for a free trip, figured you'd get the cash at the conference, but now you are up and stranded without a pot to piss in? Even Wells Fargo will let you make an AtM withdrawal without a card. One stop into a bank fixes this quite easily.

                                Goater was that you running from the Free Lunch Buffet with the basket of rolls? There were still 20 people who had not eaten their lunch as yet

                                  I don't need payment ASAP, so if payments are going out today and there's some sort of batting order Goatman can take my place if I'm ahead of him.

                                  In the meantime, have you tried ** or **, Goatman? A family member or close friend can probably hook you up with a couple hundred without too much hassle. GL.

                                  EDIT: The ** were auto-edited from not-eastern union and a synonym for "cash" gram.

                                    I'm worried about Goatman

                                    He seems to be a non Mexican living in a city known for low crime and an established affluent foreign population but is currently stuck in a high crime dangerous area. He probably sticks out like Phillyguy in a first class seat

                                      coming from the author of "How To Survive Las Vegas on $5 a Day" I'll take that as a compliment

                                        This unfortunately sounds like these phone calls I get from the "IRS" stating I owe money and that I have to send a check right away.

                                              Hi Goatman,

                                              We have reimbursed you through Paypal; our apologies for the mix-up in reimbursement info. All bank transfers are going out this week to those who have provided their wiring instructions.
