I figured. I was happy with my 500 instant win prize til I read that. Ah well. I'd rather trade it in and take what's behind door #2!

Awwww, so I guess that's it for me. I won 500 starpoints a couple of days ago 
and I was happy about that. I guess I still am -- better than not winning anything. And who knows, I still have a shot at the grand prize.^

SPG is getting better about showing me city properties: Paris yesterday and today, Prince de Gaulle and W Opera.
I wonder whether everyone picking city sees the same hotel per day or maybe the same sequence of hotels as they play on various days.

I got Bangkok. But these cities don't matter. I have no more chance of going to Bangkok than winning to go anywhere.

Got lucky and hit the 5,000 points! I assume there is no further point in playing now that no further prizes can be won?
