Well, they appear to random to us.. but who knows. Maybe it really is random, maybe there's some sort of algorithm, I don't know. But I'm not going to jump ship because I was not targeted. Especially since IMO, it isn't a very good promo to begin with.

I believe in another thread, Saad suggested that perhaps Hilton is testing promos and how people react to them. That sounds plausible to me.
