I was hitting reload right at noon for the Choice points and I somehow still missed out on the 55,000 point package. They were literally gone in under 5 seconds. I ended up getting 3 of the 42,000 point packages... I plan to redeem for two rooms on a family vacation in Tokyo. Definitely not the most posh surroundings but with some costly recent car repairs and home renovations coming up, this has to be a budget affair, haha.

Didn't they have like 20 packages total, 3, 9, 12? Complete waste of time. Bots will snag 18 of those immediately, and after clicking for 20 minutes, you'll stand a 1 in 1000 chance of picking up one of the remaining two when the "pros" have exhausted their credit cards. To be fair, I have participated in this nonsense on occasion in recent years and even managed to grab a couple packages, but generally, I have far better uses for my lunch break.

Did you get your points already? Do you know how long it usually takes?

Some of my Choice points posted but only 1/4 of them. I bought 4 of 28,000 and only 28,000 posted. It's annoying after the long wait. I'm not sure now if they made a mistake and I need to call or if the rest would be posted eventually.

Same with me, I only got one of the four points packages that I ordered. I thought I'd wait until next weekend to see what happens before calling in about it.

I decided to call. Even though the daily getaways confirmation email said to call choice, Choice had no idea what happened and advised to contact daily getaways. I did send them and email. What a mess. I'll just wait until the end of next week before I contact them again.

I checked this morning and still no points beyond one of the four packages I bought. I'll wait until the end of the week too and if nothing happens I'll follow up with them.

Received the same email yesterday, without having reached out to them myself:
I had purchased two 55k packages, one posted last week, the second one didn't. Nothing yet today.
