Well, I'm done with embarq for the next bit. I think I dropped over $6k into random AC customers: 26, 26, 624, and 5390. If I can't be #1 in EYW at least I can be the first to fully fund a few embarq'ers. We'll see how fulfillment works now. Anyone read the T&C or Rules or whatever they call them?
I'm sure AC has no problems taking money. I hope they have no problems handing it to these beneficiaries.

Now that I think about it, this is dumb. I'd rather just hand cash over to the other person, but I guess it might be put to drugs or booze or whatever instead of flying the family to a soccer match.
I'm working on the low side today! Means I have internet access!!!

It's also possible that the posters forget they posted a plea, get funding, it expires, they get the email with the gift card, and they never see the email.
Oh well, need to work a day or two to make that money back... =(
You can redeem your Embarq funds for an Air Canada eGift Card at any point. But be sure you’re ready, because once you are, friends will no longer be able to chip in to your flight through Embarq. If you choose to wait to until the end of your funding date, we will automatically send you an email giving you access to an Air Canada eGift Card containing your Embarq funds.
Seems easy for the funds to never be seen by the recipient and AC keeps the cash. I want to be certain the gift cards are given to the recipient.Oh well, need to work a day or two to make that money back... =(

Why 104%?

Well, my first one was $25 requested... I gave $26 to be nice, which is 104% of $25.
Then $26 to another $25 request.
Then $624 (104% of $600). Why not be consistent.
Then $5,390 (104% of $5,182.50)...

Quite the range, why did you pick the ones you did?

$25 and $25, cheap... and "mickey mouse" got my attention....
$600 guy looked honest. He's never been to YQB. YQB is fun.
$5,390 I dunno... family trip. Sounds good. Wanted something a little more substantial, but not like some wanderlust begging for a handout.
It was easier than going to Vegas for a second overnight in a row.

Oh, seriously? Why would he return $26? Just let AC have it then. I anticipate AC being a charity case in a few years https://twitter.com/Brodie_Aikman/st...14417546600450
