LatinPass/GlobalPass - Positive Email from John Jackson, Senior Vice President of Marketing for GlobalPass

This is the email response I received today from John Jackson, Senior Vice President of Marketing for GlobalPass regarding this "GlobalMess." I am pretty optimistic about the outcome of this situation after receiving this email and noting that tvl4free has also received positive email and actions from GP.

i guess that leaves me in the OutHouse as although I had made my reservations with Taca on the 28th and the 29th I only emailed them in to GP on the 30th as I was told we had until 6pm on the 30th to get it in. So Im sure that GP NEVER went and confirmed them with GT.

In his letter he said in as much as you had your res confirmed by the deadline of the 29th. When did it become the 29th from the 30th??

Gues Ill have to email this guy myself.

Dos this mean we no longer have to "earn" 50% of our miles first in order to use our GlobalMiles?

When I wrote GlobalPass I stated if there is no possibility of getting TACA tickets, then an alternative remedy would be to allow me to use my remaining balance without having to earn new GlobalPass miles to release my old GlobalPass miles.

I'm surprised nobody has posted new information today. I haven't seen any change in my account, but since Randy's post assured us GlobalPass is trying to remedy the situation I have held off filing any more complaints.

I did call GP and wanted to know what if anything did my Emailing my request in have over Faxing it in. I was told that they are taking them 1 by 1 and email or fax had no difference in the order.

When I mentioned if thats the case why is it that some memebers have received emails with tkt #s and they faxed it in on 6/30, ahe had no response other than what she had already told me.

So far 2 emails that I sent in yesterday havent been answered.
