Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a package from XXXX XXXX, for the following : XXXX XXXX ANYWHERE IN US : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from and to anywhere in the US ( XXXX must fly within your chosen cities ). 
3 Nights of hotel at a XXXX in your chosen city. 
{$250.00} Gift certificate to XXXX XXXX in your chosen city. 

XXXX XXXX operates a non-profit organization, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, A NONPROFIT XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX | XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX | VIRGINIA | XXXX | XXXX I was communicating with a XXXX XXXXXXXX director of public relation and external affairs. XXXX per a phone conversation week of XX/XX/XXXX, stated this was all a fraud. 
I have sent over 10 emails trying to get a response, but no one never respond back. I did get a response a couple of months after the purchase. I made the purchase with my Macy 's American Express card. All emails within four months of purchase indicated I would receive the package. I never did receive the package.

I have submitted numerous emails requesting my package.

I have also contact Macy 's American Express but have been told the time frame of filing a dispute has expired. I feel Macy 's did not conduct a proper investigation as I uploaded all email communication with the organization. I have over 20 emails requesting the package. This organization took money from a lot of Veterans. A search on XXXX shows this organization took money from Veterans to have parties and expensive trips. 

Can you assist me in a refund? 

Below is the response I received from Macy 's.
