Yep... meanwhile we cant get our tax returns for 4 years. Getting over it all pretty damn quick.

Its for certain hotels and its $300 in vouchers to use at participating tours on the islands. but that money is coming from somewhere and you bet your A its from OUR pockets.

This is nothing new. The USVI Tourism Bureau has been providing vouchers/coupons for years as part of accommodation booking promotion. Guests pickup the vouchers when they check-in and can use them like cash at participating merchants. The merchants get reimbursed for the vouchers they collect. This is paid for out of the hotel tax.
