I only got 53,200 points and I'm Platinum. I can't even get in.. when I put in the pin I get:
"Due to an issue retrieving your account, we are unable to register you at this time. Please try again in a few minutes, or for further assistance contact the Priority Club® Service Center."
Anyone else having trouble registering?
Duh - GOT IT... I was not putting in my pin # - I was putting in the Promo code!

Man, I got cheated. They only offered me 150,300. 
What's with the extra 300, though? I also get 105,000 points if I do four out of five.
This has got to be a joke. I only have to do four of the five following before 5/31:
*Complete a survey
*Stay two Saturday nights
*Stay at two brands
*Get the credit card
*Stay ten nights
I'm not sure I've ever stayed at an ICH property but have >42,000 points from all the promos they've run. Of course, this contest will break my streak of earning points without ever having stayed at an ICH property. And if there was ever a question about hotels valuing potential clients more than their existing loyal members, this offer could put an end to that.

Requirements appear in many cases to equal one's past 365-day (year) tally.
Had no problem logging in. The survey sets out to measure various types of promotions and which you'd prefer...and how important they are to deciding among which chains to patronize. I opted for the options that presented free nights after several nights/stays over bonus points in various combinations.
My targets are all in the 40+ nights/properties (except Saturdays which is 12) and the bonus for getting all of them all is my current balance. Given we have 8 months should be achievable under current travel patterns though at first looked rag her daunting.
However do feel such promos are rather less fair to thosebwho regularly use ICH/PC properties over those with less frequent stays.

CAN I UNLATCH MORE THAN ONE LATCH AT A TIME?
Yes, it is possible to unlatch more than 1 latch at a time. For example, if you only need 1 more Saturday stay for your Saturdays lock and 1 night left for your Nights lock, you could unlock both by simply having a Saturday night stay.

Bonus points 102,500
Offer
) TAKE A SURVERY -- EARN 1,000 BONUS POINTS
2) STAY 14 ROOM NIGHTS -- EARN 2,800 BONUS POINTS
3) STAY 5 BRANDS -- EARN 4,400 BONUS POINTS
4) STAY 5 SATURDAYS -- EARN 3,300 BONUS POINTS
11,500 pts for the elements and 91k for the case.
So if I plan my stays propperly, I should be able to get the bonus with 14 nights.
The 5 Brands is the hard one for me. Usually only stay in HIEX, HI and CPs.

110k points for me
survey, 42 nights, 19 distinct properties, 7 saturday night stays, priority club visa spending of 24,500 points and survey (only 500 points for the survey!) I think they are trying to get me to change my patterns--I don't usually stay saturdays and I often stay at the same hotels.

I'm a Plat with only two stays this year. I can get 160K points for:
PC Visa -- 30K
PC Survey -- 2K
27 Nights -- 5K
14 Properties -- 8,300
2 Saturdays -- 1,700
Bonus: 113,000
I could easily do this, but I don't know if I'll try. Except for the Saturdays. I assume award stays wouldn't qualify for that.
