Called Marriott for redemption from DW's account.

When rep said that the account is marked as Female, I just retorted, oh that's a mistake (could have said as in the past that it is DW's account and I'm calling for her - they would either let it happen or I would need to HUCA - but it was too close to Shabbos to deal with that). Now they want me to send a copy of ID.

Am I better off:
  • fessing up saying what actually happened, providing DW's ID and proof that we're married (was trying to transfer from her account to mine);
  • Photoshop;
  • Attempting to transfer from her Marriott account back to SPG account, and then do SPG to SPG transfer (if I need to, as I'm not sure I can take advantage of United promo before United chart devaluation at this point, taking account all needed transfers)?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Who are they to say you are not female? And simply judging by a voice no less? Threaten a lawsuit.

They are not judging by voice. They aren't judging at all at this point. They are just asking for ID based on the fact that profile said female and I said it was a mistake.

Send in ID and say you don't identify as a female anymore.

Is that better than fessing up? After all not buying or selling anything, it's all staying within the family.

So just send her ID, no? This doesn't seem so complicated to me.
They called, and think they're talking to Sara/Chaya/Mushka/Francine/Whoever, so send ID to prove it. Done.

My local Staples is very accommodating to my "unique needs" and I wish them much success.

Does it have anything to do with what you do there?

OfficeMax cashier told me last week that GC sales don't count towards the store revenues for bonus calculation and that they make no profit on the sales.

Perhaps a case of dnropr, but doesn't sound unreasonable to me.

are these expirations hard coded or a nice manager can over ride that? or customer service can issue a replacement as a "one time courtesy"?
May you slide down the banister of happiness & get many splinters of success up your career.
