And also pointed out numerous times... some people seem to have received some points already.
So not a very well run promotion.

As an aside, I booked two Sofitel hotels on Oct 15 in their sale and although I shouldn't be complaining, these purchases are still not showing on my Mastercard and MC have confirmed they have received no transactions from Accor.
Usually such transactions are visible within a few days on my statement and despite the confirmations showing on my Le Club account - I am just hoping that this is not another Accor 'glitch'.

In my experience of pre-paid bookings with Accor, it depends on when the hotel processes the payment. Sometimes, the hotel processes immediately so it shows up in your account within a few days just like a normal credit card transaction you'd make in a shop. For some hotels, they tend to process them later and sometimes even a few days before the stay or on a few occasions, on the day you arrive. So, I wouldn't worry - it has nothing to do with a glitch. Just check your credit card statement the day before you arrive in case they still haven't taken the amount and in such a case they'll do it upon arrival. I wouldn't complain about this as it would actually save you days of interest if you're not planning on paying it off that month.

Both transactions were made on the same day for two different Sofitel hotels but I will wait!
As for the topic of this thread - 500 points earned today and the site seemed to be working fine - although no points credited into my account yet.

Fingers crossed that the promo works without drama. I'm expecting drama, though -- how often do internet promos work right?

How can you tell? Either way, no reason to raise any alarms before three weeks past the end of the game.

Interesting. It might have been a coincidence, though. I know I haven't received any points yet Pretty erratic, it seems.

500 points also landed in my account yesterday as "Discovery Tour Game Bonus". So... that's interesting.

I've had 500 points post, but my valid till date hasn't changed. Usually this updates after some points activity.

For example despite having points post from the "competition", the number of points needed to get to platinum has not changed.

hmm I just played and only received 250 pts.. could it be that I tried a few a couple of times until it registered correctly on the map?
yep.. I see I only got 5 right since I guessed until they matched.. :-(
