Grccx, I went for option #3 for both of us two, and just followed their directions on the forms. I can't imagine that they would want or appreciate your own spreadsheet in a form other than what they requested. I sincerely doubt they are going to ask for further documentation either.

On another thread about this I posted that I filled out the forms back last April for both my partner and I and submitted them at the same time, one with a total of about $70,000 and one with about $75,000. When the last set of notifications came, I got a letter acknowledging the receipt of my earlier forms with the actual amount already noted on it. But my partner didn't get such a letter, so I emailed and asked why not. I got a letter back from them stating that they are currently working on a full database of the received forms. Oddly it said that would take a considerable amount of time and if at that time they had not received his form, we will have an opportunity to send it. Huh? Does that mean they will automatically contact us saying they haven't received his form? I'm tempted to just send a whole new form for him, but don't want to create a problem if they receive two for him.

You're right Patrick. Just going to send in the forms. Will have the spreadsheet as the backup documentation (along with statements) if needed. Thanks!

I finally sent in my forms, and chose the option where you fill in the number of days, but not the most detailed choice as I didn't want to get into totalling exact amounts. Also, one of the cards I used in that period didn't have the 3 pct fee, so I didn't want to get into it.

I think my total was around 225 days, so I figured out some hypothetical scenaries and figured I should get more from that than the std. $25 -- unless they run out of money. But, I don't expect much anyway, so did the number of days as I was just curious how it would work out.

I'm sure they are not going to want individual people to send in their own formats and spreadsheets. There are millions of people involved in this, I'll bet, who could be sending in things.

I finally got around to pulling records. I/we were out of the country 90 days during that period, so I choose option #2. Let's see where that gets me.

Nora, as expected ALTA fell apart, so we went to Powder Mountain instead. It was interesting to say the least. Got a 40" dump one day that closed the mountain. The next day you could only ski the steepest lines without bogging down to mid-chest depth. Brutal. The next day, after overnight compression, it was back to a manageable mid-thigh. It was legendary.

Off to Vail next weekend. They have a paltry 60" base vs ALTA's 133". I'm such a complainer. lol

Don't know how many of you have kept up with this, but yesterday I received a settlement check for $302! Included was a letter indicating that there is another class action suit against certain banks including Citibank (my credit card) and that I would be automatically included in that suit as well. I guess I just never believed I'd get anything! Woohoo!

Here's to hoping that the checks are really coming. I almost forgot about this.

I just got a check too, and so did my husband! Mine is only for $18. I was wondering if it was a real check - looks more like a postcard of sorts.

Yes, that post card is a check. But it's probably from the smaller class action suit. Many of us got much larger checks in addition from the more major law suit.

I think the $18 check is what went to people who opted for $25 rather than filling out the details of their trips. Too many respondents reduced the pay out.

I received my check for $18.04, but I see the expenses and attorney fees were $3.875 million.

is that just your legal costs, Randy, or are you going to share them with the other claimants? if not, you're going to be a bit out of pocket!
