Re: credit card guarantee

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

Hi Erik,

Didn't mean to sound rude, and of course, the subject could be approached
more diplomatically than I put it here.  You do know them better than any of
the rest of us, since you've had more direct dealing.  If you feel
comfortable with them, I think that's great.

Thank you for offering to do it this year.  I think we should consider how
to handle this in the future... Perhaps setting aside an escrow amount out
of working funds to reimburse whoever uses their card in case there is a
problem?

There is another advantage, though of someone local doing this.  They also
have direct access to the hotel management in the case of a dispute.  We
were lucky last year that Valerie kept working to get the disputed charges
resolved... It would have been near-impossible for David to do long
distance.
