If you don't respond within two weeks, you forfeit your money.El_K said:Here are your choices.
Tyee Seat-Related Gift
Yes, I am going to stay “All In” to support student athletes! Please transition my 2020 annual football gift to a tax-deductible donation to the Huskies All In Fund and receive triple priority points
No, I am unable to stay “All In” to support student athletes and will forgo the tax and point incentives. Please credit my Tyee Seat-Related Gift to the Fall 2021 season. (Should we be able to resume competition in the Spring of 2021, no Seat-Related Gift would be required. Seating will be based on Priority Points.)
Please note should we not hear from you by Tuesday, September 1st your 2020 annual football gift will automatically be maintained as a donation, and directed to the Huskies All In Fund.

Dear Ms. Cohen:
My offer is this: nothing.
Not even the $30.00 for parking in the E1 lot, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.
Sincerely,

Why no, no I don't want to help starving children -
I called and busted some what sounded like an Asian kid's balls about how we were getting screwed and I wanted a full refund. I asked them about the endowment and tap into that. What si i called into my credit card compnay and reported it that way?
The kid had no answers, then I said I was busting his balls as he took the ball busting like champ. I did not go All In, I rolled both the Tyee and Tickets to 2021.

UPDATE
After I opted to just have things roll over, I get this email
Your Football Season Ticket Renewal Will Be Applied to 2021
Thank you for your continued support of Washington Football, and moving your 2020 football season ticket renewal to the 2021 season. We can't wait to gather again with you at the Greatest Setting in College Football.
Husky Athletics is facing the greatest financial challenge we have seen in our lifetime, and are going to need our incredible fan base to come alongside us and stay All In to help continue to carry on the positive momentum we have built together on Montlake.
The impact of COVID-19 on our budget remains unclear, but we could face losses up to $70 million. We will continue to implement cost-saving measures in an effort to mitigate financial deficits, however, we won’t be able to close the gap without you.
Your gift to The Huskies All In Fund earns you special benefits, including:
Double Priority Points - 2 Points per $100!
As well as:
100% Tax-Deductible Gifts
A Huskies All In Commemorative Dawg Tag
Recognition on the Huskies All In Donor Wall
And more Tyee Club Member Benefits
We understand these are troubling times and ask that you consider any support to stay All In with Husky Athletics. All gifts will make a difference!
One last push fo you to forgo the money
That is TP, not MP, their problem! -

Clerk: Would you like to donate $2 today to feed starving children?
Me: WHAT HAVE THOSE STARVING CHILDREN EVER DONE FOR ME???? -
Donating the cost of the 2020 tickets isn’t an option for me. At the same time, as much as I want to say FO, give me a refund, I can’t bring myself to do it. I got to do a lot of cool shit in college because some other rich fucks opened up their check books. So I think UW can keep my money in the bank as a small token of my gratitude.

It's very much like typical passive aggressive charity campaign direct mailings.Doog_de_Jour said:

Or when they call on the phone and I say no and they immediately launch into "MrJD, is $20 worth the life of a child??"
"Holy shit, $20? I've been paying waaaay more than that!
