When the rep saw the notes from the supervisor telling me we would get it he admitted he was totally confused. He said they were still told to tell people it was targeted and he just got off the phone with someone who was arguing with him about this very same thing!! This rep sent me up to another supervisor who did the same song and dance "it is targeted". But this time I found out this supervisor works with the supervisor I spoke to earlier. She quickly changed her tune when she saw the other supervisor's notes on the account.

Bottom line is they don't know what is going on. They said that marketing mailed out the flyers and they haven't seen them, but it was supposed to be targeted. She is not sure what will happen with this promotion...if they will open it to everyone or not. Or they may end up changing the website and the terms and conditions...
I was about to jump on this promotion last night. However, I felt that something is not right in the first place. Since I have heard some people here did not get their bonus points from the first promotional round, I chose an option to wait to make sure everything is clear in their terms. In addition, their terms do not specify clearly which booking rates are available for this offer. AAA, Government rates do work too? Someone on viewfromthewing did take a risk to go whatever option yields lowest cost per night and chose an option "no show". I suggest that someone who did not jump on this promo yet needs to wait a little bit.
