the fact is that when pc says 'globally' then that doesn't necessarily mean that they are referring to their hotels all over the world....they could be referring to their members all over the world....

The list works while you are logged into your account and you don't have a US based address with PC? I'm not trying to be difficult, genuinely curious as to who gets to see it and who doesn't. It may be a browser issue (i've tried 2) or some other thing but i need to log out of my PC account and clear my cookies before it lets me see them.
Well it could mean that if you take a tortured legalistic view. But i'd suggest common sense suggests that "you are going to get an email" means you are going to get an email and "globally" means that it will involve places other than the United States. I would suggest that even if they won the legal argument they aren't making any friends by promoting this as a "global" program when it in all practical senses isn't.

For those complaining about people complaining, for many of us it simply DOESN'T WORK and it IS NOT WHAT WAS ADVERTISED.
This is the information that PC published about last minute rewards:
It was advertised as Global program. I can't find a single property from outside the United States.
No email was sent (to me at least). Perhaps the experience in the US was different.
Even if i am willing to overlook those two issues, even if i was in the US as an international user I can't access the listing from within my account (i have to log out AND clear my cookies). I simply get a "There were no items found in the category you selected. Please select another category, or if you have searched within a specific point range please clear your point selection." (Obviously i've cleared my points selection multiple times) - so even if i found something and wanted to book it i couldn't using this part of the site.
Obviously for some US based members (and perhaps for some other countries) it's working fine. However that doesn't mean that everyone else's complaints are unwarranted or over the top. It works for some, it doesn't work for others. As it was advertised as an offer to all then those for whom it doesn't work have a legitimate gripe.

Cannot see any hotels....
I have cleared cookies, etc....and cannot see any of the last minute deals. I saw them earlier in the week.
I logged in to my account, and they are not there anymore.
FT's -- can see the last minute hotels for the U.S? or since it is after Thursday it gets pulled down?

Canadian hotels bookable by Canadians only?
Saw that Canadian hotels were availablein this months rewards specials but when I clicked on Redeem - it took me to the main Reservation page.
However when I filled in all the details of the hotel on the main reservation page and selected Reward Nights I would have been able to book a room at 7,500 points.
Still can't book hotels in the US though...
