Actually I have to say that I'm a little bored by the current promo runs and have been focusing on the Hilton 'night on us' promo. A free night at any Hilton property can be worth quite a bit. In the meantime the PC promos have been a little tepid this quarter. Perhaps they are giving it a rest after 'luckiest loser' - I'm sure that took a lot of their budget.

If you want this 'great haul' to continue I would recommend you edit your post and remove all those details. I wouldn't even mention the fact that you got that many points full stop. We do understand your excitement but some things are better savored quietly if you want to enjoy them much longer.
Without wanting to be harsh, it is newbies like you who get things screwed up for everyone by posting such stuff. You got it, it is great. Congrats, now plesase remove it. Mods any opinion?

Posting large points earnings is like posting your speeding/street racing video on your website these days...you might have gotten away with it, and it felt too good not to brag about, but somethings can come back to bite you if its too public. Sometimes it looks like Priority Club Rewards runs like a Casino though, where the lure of a Jackpot draws in new players and is cheap advertizing. Where the players think the House is crazy ...like a fox that is.

My offers page
Has anyone noticed problems with the "My Offers" webpage? Mine is showing a bunch of blanks where the new offers are posted with no details, etc. Looks like a programming glitch. It also appears some of the previous offers (still valid) have disappeared and I'm suddenly not getting bonus points.
I've done a search on "offers" and not found anything. Anyone have experiences or information?

I've found its common and usually when you register for a promo before it officially starts or one you were not targeted for. Most often at some point in the future they post normally after the start date or even next stay...sometimes they stay blank but points post anyway. Plus every quarter or so PCR purges expired promo's off the list and that can turn your blanks into a normal appearance.

Luckiest Loser Stay x Nights Earn X Points, Double Hurdle
I was enrolled in the Hilton Luckiest Loser bonus which I received, but have only received one lot of points, for a stay 3 get 5000 points.
I have read all the posts that refer to earning two times the hurdle points if enrolled in the Hilton promotion.
The stay 3 earn 5000 points listed with the stay when all the points were put into the account, with the exception of the weekend bonus which posted several weeks later.
Appreciate if anyone has any idea of why I haven't received the double points for the Hilton promotion, ie have others received the points immediately or have they been posted later.

As with all things PC, I'd just wait at least 2 weeks, and probably 4 weeks until the promotion is over before you complain. In most cases, I find that I end up with more points than I figured on by following this plan.
