For those of you who have already logged in and provided your credit card don’t be alarmed if you don’t see the amount charged on your credit card for a few days. This is how it works…

When someone registers it only authorizes their card. Two or three times a week all the transactions are batched and captured for actual payment. Some banks or credit card companies may have dropped the authorization of their card before we capture it. From our end it makes no difference because we will capture with the approved authorization and the final charge will appear on their account. If any cards are declined during capture Creative Escape will contact that person directly. This is something we watch closely. So be reassured, if your card was declined we would contact you and we’re not going to give away your registration.

A few days after that, we gather the information of the newly registered guests and provide a list  of names and email addresses to the hotel. The Sheraton will contact you within 72 hours after that list is released. Creative Escape does not make any hotel accommodations, and any special requests you may have must be made through the Sheraton. Be sure to answer the hotel quickly. Rooms are first come, first served. There are plenty but the number of double/double rooms is limited. Remember, hotel rooms must be canceled 30 days before the event or the room fees will be billed to your credit card.

Registration is happening now!

We are half way through registration and we are continuing to pull names from the lottery each week. If you haven’t received an email, don’t give up hope! There is room for about 300 more people. We only release half as many spots as we have available because everyone has the chance to bring along one friend. We give everyone 7 days to decide if they will be attending and then pay for their registration to secure their spot. After that, we look to see how many spots are left and pull half that number of names from the lottery list. Just in case you are wondering about our scientific process – that’s the scoop. Thanks for your patience. Check back here for more info as it becomes available!
