New Hotel Thread Here The First One Reached Its Limit-READ 1ST POST IMPORTANT INFO

[sandgrace]

My grandparents are in Florida and have a bank in Israel & so do many of their friends, and they are legit (kind of).

Seriously, the Israeli bank is a little concerning. Adds to the intreague.

I enjoy mysteries, just not when my money and sanity are involved.

From what we're hearing... this is more like a contest than a sale. I believe all you're responsible for are resort taxes, parking fees, etc. (I.e. Swan/Dolphin have a per day charge for the workout room, etc).

But, you may have to claim it as additional income on your 2009 taxes.

Email response from Customer Service:

Thank you for your e-mail. In regards to the taxes: The value of hotel rooms purchased during the World For A Dollar campaign may be taxable as income. Individuals are solely responsible for the payment of all federal, state and local income or excise taxes on prize. Depending on the value of the rooms, you may be required to provide a social security number for 1099/income tax filing purposes. If required, LMT will send you the appropriate documentation for tax filing. In addition, you are responsible for all travel/transportation to and from hotel, meals, beverages, phone charges, incidentals, or other expenses or costs relating to the prize not expressly set forth above. You are not responsible for hotel taxes.

What you would be responsible for would be resort fees, parking fees anything that is not hotel taxes and that the hotel is charging outside of the room price.

As far as the number of rooms you can book it is only one per sweepstakes and one per household.

Is it wrong that I am feeding my children Froot Loops for dinner? By the way why did they spell fruit like that? It's no wonder that people can't spell!

 

[PlutoGirl1117]

ON the plus side, I should hit 300 posts soon!

Alright, time for another theory based on the video's. 11:52 GMT is 5:52 CST so I believe in 10 minutes the sale will begin. I think it's GMT time because they were planning a trip to Paris in the video...what do you think?

Well Paris is not on Greenwich Mean Time, they are GMT +1
