My bonus points just posted. I have never had a qualifying stay before this promo (just a 1 night Priceline stay a couple of years ago). I'm a leisure traveller, and was offered:
Survey - 500 points
Emails - 10,000 points
10 nights - 5,000 points
2 brands - 2,200 points
2 Saturdays - 3,300 points
Unlock all latches - 111,000 points
Total - 132,000 points
I had a 3-night HI Priceline stay in NY, followed by a 2-night HI Express F&F stay in CA (where I "arranged" everything for my extended family, so 3 rooms = 6 nights) and 1-night "full price" mattress run at HI Express locally.
Very happy with PCR right now

got my 188k bonus
Couldn't get the room night latch. They wanted 140 nights; unbelievable. I had stayed over 100 nights in a 12 month period but.....
Was sweating at the end as they seemed to have issues tracking this in May.

Thanks Flyertalk and PC

Bonus points posted, all 130,000 of them! I'm still waiting on the 80,000 for my new PC Visa, but that should be posting in the next several weeks as well. And I finally earned Platinum. Since I had hardly used PC, my tasks were easier than some:
survey
PC Visa
2 Saturday Stays
2 different brands
10 nights (I didn't do this one, but ended up staying 8 nights anyways, though several were non-qualifying)
For a budget-traveler girl used to couchsurfing and hostels, ICG got my loyalty and 8 stays that I otherwise would not have booked. And now I'm hooked into the hotel loyalty program as well as every other FF program under the sun. Oh, addiction...

Survey 2,000
2 Brands 2,200
2 Saturdays 3,300

Total 178,500

That was similar to my offer.
Three easy latches - the survey and 2 Saturdays / 2 brands.
The 4th latch, for me, was basically a choice between the PC Visa or 8 more nights in hotels.
I'm holding off on my Chase applications for a while, so I did the 8 nights. Last night was completed on May 28th, and my CTC bonus posted yesterday.
Total for the 10 hotel nights, including all bonuses, was 199k. Got a nice boost in that these were my FIRST paid Priority Club stays ever, allowing me to stack in a bunch of other promos. My final CTC post was 110k.
So now I'm back to Starwood, hitting the resort night promo. My final question for the Priority Club crowd: what's a good use of 199k points? I'm thinking Manhattan since my primary chains (MR,HH,SPG) charge a much greater premium for their hotels there.

I am waiting on my 3rd latch to open after last weekends stay. Only 3300 pts so it is nothing to get excited about. There was no way I was going open all 5 latches. My offer of 81k for 5 latches was a joke. One latch was 24 nights. There is no way I would stay at Holiday Inns that many nights for 81k particularly when I knew that others had every easy tasks to complete. I can buy 81k pts for less than 24 nights would cost me. I look forward to the next promotion and hope it is one I can benefit from.
