Daytona Dinner Payment Q & A thread

Questions about the dinner?

Did you pay but don't see your name?

Please post questions/problems here.

I must be missing something here...
Carol, how do I go about this?

Is this going to be one of those PayPal situations? Actually, you're buying a dinner, right? So what if you're not going to be there? With each dinner purchased, you get to put your meal ticket into a drawing.

I think this year we should get wristbands or a stamp, as just turning in a ticket didn't differentiate between the people that paid and the crashers when everyone just started showing up for the raffle... I have some running around to do today, so I'll stop at a party supply and see what's available.

If you will be eating the catered Uno's meal, it's best to pay ahead. I'm offering the raffle as incentive to pay ahead.

There will be a small amount of extra meals purchased so some people will be able to pay at the door but availability will be very limited and you will not be entered to win the pair of Classics het Peppermint Stripe if you pay at the door.

For every $15 meal you prepurchase, you will get a free "raffle" ticket assigned to you that will be entered in the drawing. People can also donate $15 and get a "non-dinner" ticket for each $15 donation if they are unable to make Daytona, prefer to eat elsewhere but want to be entered in the drawing, or if they want to have more chances to win etc. Any extra funds leftover after paying the caterer will go straight to USARK.

So if you prepay for 2 dinners, you get 2 raffle tickets. If you want to prepay for 2 dinners and want two extra donation tickets, it would be $60 and you would have four chances to win.

People can email or PM me for my pay pal info and in the payment I will need your name, your user name, and how many of your tickets need to go towards dinners, and how many are donations. A cell number would be helpful also but not required.

At the dinner prepayers will be shown their raffle tickets being put in the drawing, tickets for those who won't be present will also be added in a public manner. Most likely at that time you will also get a wrist band that clears you to chow down! I will probably be the one to pass out the tickets to those who prepaid, but if that changes we'll announce it.

Hope that helps, please let me know if anything is unclear, I'm stuper tired today.

Well, I would have prepaid for the dinner anyway. How else will anyone know how much food to order? But for a chance at a pair of your peppermint stripe het kids....Yes oh yes oh yes!!
Is it possible to pay with a credit card though?
If not, I understand and will make the adjustments necessary.

Beth, you can use PayPal with a credit card.

I have heard that. Not quite sure how to do it though! My husband and I are on the same paypal account, and I would prefer to pay for this all myself. I am so excited and nervous!!

Log in to PayPal.

On the right, under Notifications, choose Update my credit card info. That page, on the bottom, has a button that says Add a card. Add the card.

Then go to the blue tab, at the top, that says Send Money. Enter the e-mail address, the amount, and whatever Carol specifies- it would either be Purchases- Goods or Services, or Personal- gift.

Gold button, continue.

The next screen shows Payment method, down at the bottom. Instant transfer will be checked. Instead, choose Change, directly under Instant transfer.

The next screen shows Funding Options. Check Credit/Debit card, and select your card, which will be identified by the last four digits of the account number.

Gold Button Continue.

The next screen is Review your payment and send. If everything is correct, click the gold button, Send Money.
