Check this out:
​​​​​​Thanks for joining us to travel the world with your taste buds.
Loads of you accepted the Food Explorer's challenge to cook up some foreign fare, with 1,827,925 Rewards points being won overall.
Huge congratulations to our five Food Explorers , who each won 200 000 Le Club AccorHotels Rewards points in our big prize draw!
And a big bravo to our 500 members who won a total of 827,925 Le Club AccorHotels Rewards points in our daily prize draws!
How come such data is available prior to the contest finishes?
How come in the 19th they're congratulating winners from a draw supposed to happen from 20-27th? That seems odd and honestly makes me question the reputation of the contest.
Wrote them about it and got a non convincing excuse... I hate to have the feeling that I lost my time, what a shame Accor...

And you create an account on FT and make your 1st post for...that ?

No points for me or the wife. I think we each finished 8 or 9 of the recipes.

Nothing for me this time. Was a bit of fun during the tea break at work and gave me a couple ideas for something different for tea.

The website now suggests the winners of the 5x 200,000 points are still to be decided... so we can all live in hope for a little longer.

I'm yet to win any points in any of these types of "promos" that Accor has run. One day...

I also wonder why I keep bothering. I have better "luck" filling out their surveys for 50pts each...
