I had 3.6 million in my Hilton account and received my 20,000 points yesterday. So now you all know the winner had to have 3.6 million Plus.

I contacted PCR to see if I was part of the 20K that won with my 90K because I saw people with 60K on this thread getting points.

They responded back saying that I was not part of the top 20K and will not be receiving points.

+1 on that. I'm still expecting an eight figure number to win.

Weird... I suppose we all just keep waiting and watching and see what happens.

I'd say that's just another example of how most of what the PCR customer service people say is unreliable and/or nonsense. Keep waiting, maybe you'll get something. There are people with way higher balances than you who still haven't received anything yet either.

My account balance was 75k, and I didn't receive anything beyond the initial 1k points.

Were you asked to submit proof of your account balance?

When I signed up for the promo, I wasn't asked to upload/fax anything, and I wasn't contacted later. And since I don't really follow PC closely, I never checked this thread to see that others were either asked or submitted proof without being prompted for it. So now, of course, I gotta wonder if it's (in my case) a case of "you snooze you lose".

Amen - its so nice to be in a forum where we focus on maximizing return from the program through sharing of info and 'technique.' Certain airline forums are starting to feel like 'combat zones.'

I faxed in my Hhonors screen shot showing my account balance.

One of the initial requirements when you signed up was that you submit proof of your HH balance, either by mail, fax, or uploading a screen shot.

I faxed mine in twice, just to make sure they got it. Of course, they lost it and sent me an email asking for it again, so I sent them a screen shot.

If you never sent them anything and never got any requests for anything, I can't say what would happen. Though it seems you missed a required element of the promo, others in the same boat reported getting points anyway.

Just PCR being consistently inconsistent again, I guess?
