I kindly request the reimbursement for my flight expenses to Scale16x as approved in 12/08/2017 meeting.

The expenses details are:

CUU-LAX flight ticket -> $7,027.00 -> two receipts attached

LAX-CUU flight ticket -> $2,772.13

Total MX = $10,299.13

@bex no block taking care of it now

@aacosta @bex, acosta your account on paypal does not allow me to send you money to that account, it does not accept personal payments. acosta you need to allow the personal payment method in order for me to reimburse you.

Thank you @award3535, I checked my account and I didn't find anything odd in its configuration. Unless it is a new feature, I've never had blocked personal payments that I can recall.

Could you please confirm that you're using alxacostaa (notice double A at the end) or try my paypal.me? paypal.me/douglax

Thank you
Alex

@aacosta I copied what you listed above. will try again.

@aacosta just tried it again, it does not allow me to send money to you, its blocked on your end

Thank you @award3535,

I've just created a ticket in Paypal asking them to review my account. Let's give them a day or two and I'll get back to you when they have a resolution

@aacosta and @award3535 we may need to use transferwise.com here. This would do a bank transfer directly to @aacosta in MXN (assuming that is your functional currency).

Paypal prohibits personal payments in some countries. The other way to do this would be to gross it up.

I suggest we consider transferwise.com here. @aacosta could you look at transferwise.com and see if your bank is supported?

@award3535 I can do the actual payment if this is going to work.

I have opened a TransferWise account, same gmail address alxacostaa@gmail.com

Apparently I had no issues in registering my bank accounts.

Please try again using TransferWise

Thank you

@aacosta I have initiated a transfer to you. You should receive the 10299 MXN tomorrow (they claim tomorrow morning even). I couldn't figure out how to get you 0.13 MXN. Let me know if that is a significant amount of currency. I haven't been to Mexico in years and don't recall how the currency functions.

@award3535 I will put this payment into the budget system.

Thank you @bex ,

Don't worry, those cents are not significant. I have received confirmation that money is being transferred and it should be in my account tomorrow.

I appreciate your support, from all of you guys
