IHG Rewards Club Advisors

Anyone else get an email invite for this program today?

I had to answer a fairly standard set of questions about my demographic, my travel habits, and indicate other loyalty programs to which I belonged. The program says if I'm accepted, I could get between 500-2500 points per survey completed, with a frequency of about 2/month.

After answering the questions, I got no kind of confirmation whatsoever, just redirected to the IHG home page. Curious as to others' experiences.

I received the invitation email. Also no confirmation of anything after the conclusion...just a redirect to the IHG site.

Hopefully, we're in and it is just a matter of matching demographics to specific surveys. I'd gladly answer surveys for some additional points.

Got the email and just did a google search to check out the program. It must be brand new, b/c this is the only non-ihg link to come up. Worth a shot, I guess.

Got an email today as well for it. Filled out the demographic survey and without any confirmation that the survey was done, it just redirected the the IHG homepage. I was able to click the sign up link again and see that the survey had been completed and submitted already.

I'll gladly fill our surveys for some points.

Same; I also got the e-mail for the IHG Rewards Club Advisors. I clicked the Join button and it led me to a survey asking me some rudimentary questions about myself. As soon as I was finished, it led me to the IHG home page - no indication of whether I was approved, strange though. In the e-mail, I did see this link for more information about IHG Rewards Club Advisors, http://mail09.sm.ihg.com/track?t=c&e...52/IHG_TC.html

I got this email too. I might sign up as the promotions that IHG send me are utter cack with almost zero chance of earning big points.

Same experience here: filled out survey, no confirmation, just taken to the IHG home page.

If I've qualified, I am hoping with all my heart that the first survey asks about my experience with their IT.

Yep - exact same experience here.

I wonder if I was selected because they saw my post suggesting a class action lawsuit might be coming over rigging the outcome of their little contest...

Got this email about an hour ago and logged in to the actual site for this.
It is so far just a meeting place for the selected few. Most seem to be from the UK and China. I have only seen a few other US members. (your country is beside you name on every post you make)

Not sure what the selection criteria is, i got the same email everyone is talking about earlier today, then got a "selected" email about 9pm EST the same day.

Wondering to see what points they will reward. Why would they create a close group there when there is a wealth of info here in Flyertalk!

Is it open to all levels? Got mine, signed up as Spire.
From what I see, its a mixture of all.

Just to add, I put IHG as number 2 and Marriott as number 1...


BA have a similar discussion forum for targeted members.

Just out of interest - do you happen to work for one of the companies that were listed or did you choose "other"?
