So now we're stuck holding these longer than the 45 day period.
It's never easy with these things.
It is NOT.
I bought 4 5/3 I pulled them to print on 5/10. I called Hyatt to check balances, all 0. Maybe they were always zero, maybe not. I actually didn't want to print them and log into the 3rd party until I used them, to show I had xero access until I called and was going to use.
