Finally!!

I ordered $1500 worth of Disney Dollars directly from Disney a couple weeks ago and they are finally here! From now on I will not have a maximum amount on Disney Dollars. If you would like to edit a July withdraw and make a new one in Disney Dollars, please feel free to do so now. :)

Away this weekend

Due to a family emergency I am out of town this weekend and will not return until probably Tuesday, so no prizes or test checks will be mailed out until I return.

Also, for those of you who have not read your inbox messages lately, no, I haven't sent out most of the payments - they are being held till the 30th as the ad agencies are now paying me on the 30th instead of the 15th. They will be sent out at the end of the month.

Oh Lordy...

It's been a day. Coming back from the GPT conference in Miami, my plane had to land for more gas and sat on the tarmac for four hours, since LaGuardia was backed up, where I was connecting to go home. So by the time I got there, my connection had long since left, there weren't any flights till the morning, and all of the hotels in the area were full. So I spent a wonderful night sitting outside the LaGuardia airport rereading magazines (since the airport itself was too cold to sleep in, and I didn't have any luggage) and got a couple hours sleep on the airplane. Oh such fun.

So that is why I haven't been answering emails quite as promptly as usual, and why no prizes were sent out last night. =P I did manage to get a few more Disney Dollars while in Miami, so those will be sent out, and I will do a massive prize processing tonight.

You know you're a pest when...

...Disney corporate sends down new rules to control people like you. :)

Over the past few months, I have bought more than $2,000 worth of Disney Dollars from the Disney store at a mall about 20 minutes from my house. I didn't buy more than $1,000 at a time because I didn't want to tap out the store's supply. However, when I walked into the store to buy some on Saturday, the manager regretfully told me that they a) didn't have more than $100 or so on hand, and b) they were given a new store policy that no one person was allowed to buy more than $350 in Disney Dollars at a time. However, the manager did call me the next day to give me a couple of corporate contacts to try and get mass quantities of Disney dollars, so I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and see if I can't get mass quantities in.

This is good for two reasons - one, I don't have to go out to the mall and make them give me 90% of their Disney Dollars stash, and two, I could potentially order in a few thousand at a time, and not have to have the $25 per month restriction on the Disney dollars. So while annoying, I think this could be good. In the meantime however, I am REALLY low.. if you requested Disney Dollars prizes in the past few days, they may not ship out until I can get some more in from corporate. I have about $30 left. :)


Also annoying: I was all excited about my pretty new printable checks (cause I seriously have a callous on my right ring finger from where the pen rests) but discovered that the three-on-a-page checks that I did buy only work with the computer version of Quickbooks, and not Quickbooks Online which I have recently started using. So I will be using the first check off each page, and have to reorder a whole new set, and that is about $100 worth of checks down the drain. =/ The new ones are identical though and I will get them before July 30th, which is good.

I am getting all sorts of neat merchants together for the new rebate shopping section of the site which will open in late July - some of them sell some really cool stuff that I think you guys will like a lot. :) There are SO many merchants to choose from, and I'm putting up quite a variety so that there's something for everyone.
