I actually just now received the invitation email (inviting me to participate) and tried again, but it said I already entered!Am I the only one who hasn't gotten the 1K points immediately?

Call them if you've not got the points yet. They should be automatic.

Are you sure you didn't get the points? I only say that because sometimes the PCR website is a little flaky. It's best to clear all ichotelsgroup.com cookies and the broswer cache and log-in again to make sure you are seeing the up-to-date info. You might also try logging in via a different browser.

I did not receive the original invite either, but still signed up and it worked fine. Got my 1000pts instantly, which is really nice fore me because even though I have an HH account, I have yet to stay at a Hilton property and earn HH points.

I entered two accounts. The first; no problem. The second; seemed different in that I didn't get a final 'confirmation message' type screen, which I probably wouldn't even have missed had I not already seen what one looked like. I put the difference down to the fact that I'd left the HHonours account number blank the second time around (as other posters had suggested was possible), and wondered if I should have put a zero or "555" or whatever in there instead?

I was asked for confirmation of my 187k points earlier today when I signed up... I'm hoping to get a jump start on PC points this year, now if I could get free breakfast I'd be sold.

When I am expecting something to post immediately to my PC club acct and it doesnt, I do the following things:
1. Minor panic and feel like "I am one of the unlucky few that isnt going to get this" promo to work.
2. Remember to change my account summary from last 30 days to last 180. For some reason that seems to do the trick and it pops up.
Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Looks like I'll have to chase down my 1K points. I'm not sure if I'll be eligible for the rest (I have only 49K Hilton points), but I worry I'll have to chase those down, too.

When I uploaded the PDF summary of my HH account, I got an error that the file was too big. It was 37kb, but I read that the max accepted file size is 2mb. I closed the browser, started all over again, and got a message that I am already registered. I also got the 1k points. Now I am just wondering if my uploaded file went through or if I should fax it to make sure I am not disqualified.
Hopefully the consensus is right and not many folks get in on this. I have 207k HH points, so I might have a shot.

I just signed up for the promo and the 1k points posted immediately. I have 1.3M Hilton points and was not asked for verification. Is that bc the computer knows I'm fairly honest?

[QUOTE=sdsearch;13337976]First of all, HHonors doesn't have an Account Summary screen (like PC claims), it only has an Account Summary section which shows up on several pages. If you follow this promo's web instruction, you'll find that they're asking you to snapshot (the top of) the Printer Friendly version of your HHonors Activity screen, which has the account summary at the left of it, has the date generated at the top right, and has the most recent HHonors points activity (only the most recent few will show up on a screen save, because you have to scrolll to see more).
Thanks sdsearch. That was very helpful since I didn't get any web instruction. ^^

I'm more curious to find out how many points are needed for the grand prize. I suspect we will find out because I suspect IHG will do a publicity campaign with the winner (as allowed per the terms).

I'd be very surprised if everyone with HHonors point balances of at least 100K doesn't get the 20K. I think it's likely that even everyone below that will get their 20%. I could be wrong, and I know Priority Club has over 45 million members, but still.
