for a new credit card.
It took me years to get half a million points.
And I've had their credit card for years also.
So they don't care. A new sell, that's all they care about.
Sorry, but after this I will never stay at any PC property.

Umm, can I have your points then?

Actually you did say "all this", so it was my oversight not reading closely enough. That is a tough one you got!

Bonus per min nights required

I have just calculated that it works out to be bonus of 7250 pts per night assuming that I do the min for the bonus on my crack the case offer.

Okay, that should mean that I will earn 9-10k per night.

no, I'm planning to spend it all on a jet ride.
platinum experience or whatever they call it. Have fun for a day
and forget about it

And yes, I won't be staying at their hotels any longer.
My so-called offer also requires me to complete all 5 tasks
for 85K bonus.

The "bonus" for opening all 5 latches on my offer appears to be the total of the bonuses attached to each of them.
In any case, I'm not that active in this program and my offer's not very rich--about 136K total. I will probably open at least some of the latches. I'd like to get the CC, but Hyatt's supposedly going to announce their co-branded Chase CC on Sept 1, and they are my first priority (no pun intended); Chase appears to have a 6-month rule, so that would probably mean I could apply for the PC CC no earlier than March '11.

mission impossible, holy cr*p!

my a/c has already credited for 96 or 97 qualifying nights.

117200 points for 309 qualifying nights between 23/8/2010 and 31/5/201

simple math: 2011 is not a leap year, so we have 365days from 8/23/2010 to 8/22/2011, 22days in Aug, 31days in July, 30days in June. so we have altogether 365-22-31-30=282 days during the holy cr*p promotion. how could 309 qualifying nights be possible!

I was just saying to myself 'what's he complaining about, the person needs to effectively live at a HI until next May to get those points' - then I started to pay attention and realised that (as another has pointed out) they only need to do 4 out of the 5; which I agree is pretty easy for almost 500k points.

Strange how everyone's offer seems to be different - I only have 4 locks but I need to open them all, and they're reasonably onerous.

There's no need to book through the promo page to maintain eligibility for the bonus points, provided you registered for the promo.

Take a Survey - 2000
Stay 53 nights - 6100
Stay 2 Saturdays - 1700
Stay 4 brands - 2200
Unlock all 4 - 88000
