funny that no one has noticed this before, it has been around a long time.
Imagine if it had been the Hilton Promo, 1 000 points every time :eek:

I hope nobody tries it. Once detected I would imagine they'll run a scan an scrub out every multiple occurrence of this promo in the system or worse.

Is there a possibility that doing it in every language would also be considered abusing the program? Would they be likely to close accounts for this sort of thing?

No - I would urge you not to exploit this to any significant degree lest it create an inquiry. Would recommend taking further discussion of this issue to the discussion thread or a new thread.

There is nothing in T&C of the quiz saying that it can only be completed once.
Why do you think that registering for the promos when you were not targeted and getting thousands extra bonus miles on your stay is ok, but getting a few hunderds from this promo by actually doing something, i.e answering questions they ask, is wrong?
BTW, I think we are missing the Korean version of the quiz, as the quiz is available in all languages of the IHG site, expect the Korean (but with usa and gbr versions)

I think the issue is this particular flaw is open to quick highly obvious limitless abuse.

Precisely.

The problem is on IHG's side, but that doesn't make it not a problem.

For racking up 1,000 points, not likely a problem.

For creating a script and racking up 100,000 points or more, quite possibly.

There is only 9 websites listed for the quiz. What is the 10th one?

frank664 Feb 10, 2010 4:49 pm

Hopefully the fix that issue with the quizes giving more than 1000 points. I can't see them letting it slide because someone could get millions of points if he was bored.

I wonder what would happen if you got all of the quiz points and then booked a bunch of IC reservations for the year.

I wonder if the bold phrase "This exclusive offer is valid for original recipient only" might be used in the case of abusers...

what difference does it make? use any of them and do it over and over.


But if PC had software which could check which promos you have received
points for, how come many of us have gotten more points for the multipartner offer than we should? Not counting Goodwill adjustments but it shouldn't be too complicated to check how many points had posted as 2009 MULTIPARTNER OFFER alreadt before handing out more.
