Great promo, very interesting to see the points differences and comments here vs the HH forum on FT.

Go PC, this is really making me move more and more to the PC brand. ^

Agree with all - great promo!
260k of HH points and it asked me to upload. I never knew about the Snipping Tool in Windows (per the web instructions).

For those with large HH balances who were NOT asked to provide immediate verification, did you put commas in the HH balance reported? I wonder whether Priority Club doesn't interpret those types of responses as numbers.

I excluded the commas in my registration and was asked for verification. My HH balance is between 400k and 500k.

That's a very interesting possibility. IHG has poor website IT, so who knows...

This is a great idea. I wish Starwood would do something similar as I have not had great experiences with Intercontinental recently.

ICHG is getting serious about this promotion, I got a glossy flyer in my USPS mail today about the promo. First time PC has sent me anything that was not my requal card.

Well perhaps I shouldn't have signed up so quick, I have a bunch more HH points coming. Anyone know what I should do if I have a larger balance now?

I haven't submitted verification yet...

I'd be fairly certain that the proof did not upload.

I think the safest bet would be for anyone who's not asked for proof to mail or fax it in anyway. For those with reasonably high balances it looks like a bug if you're not asked.

If you haven't submitted verification yet, you could write to PC customer service and offer to submit the screenshot and have them modify the info you entered earlier. When Mr. honu tried to submit the screenshot last week immediately after entering the promo, he was unable to, so he used a Contact Us link (probably in the promo page) and received an email response a few days later with an invitation to send a copy of the screenshot as an attachment to the reply. You might be able to have them do the same for you.

Thanks for the info, then again I can't quite access my account right now...
