31 thank you

Would be interesting to see if any gold or silver members win anything, or if it is just the big spenders. Of course no way to see how the winners were picked by Accor, just maybe their accounting department knows.

The website says winners were notified by email. I didn't get an email, so I guess I wasn't a winner.

I checked the T&C, some notifications were supposed to be sent on December 15th ("approximate notification date"). Next and final batch is on January 9th ("approximate notification date")

I made multiple entries this year, but so far no notification of winning. 😮 Was entry limited to Gold and above members? On Jan. 1 I dropped to Silver. ☹️

The reason I posted this, is the lack of transparency as to how the winners are picked. I would imagine that the "big" spenders are most in line for the prizes.

I thought it was supposed to be a random draw, and those who sign on every day and enter more often would have better odds. We can't really audit them, but I don't think it's connected to your spend at all. At least, it's not supposed to be.

It's clearly a random draw.

Clearly a random draw, and how do you come to that conclusion? If it is a random draw, how do they do it? Random draw, clear as mud.

Because they said it was. I've been given no reason to doubt that. Why do you think it isn't?

Sadly, this is the case for me too. Did anyone on FT win, I wonder? 😊
