If your photo reached 50 likes, please email [email protected] and provide the following information NO LATER THAN Friday July 8th, 2011 in order to receive your points: 1.First and Last Name, 2.SPG #, 3.City, State, Country where you live."

I'm also going to provide a link to my pic, just in case.

I don't know if they ever posted detailed terms anywhere, but I wonder if the Country part at the end is going to end up nixing all the MNMF posts...
Do the T&C's state open to US residents only?

I didn't see detailed T&Cs anywhere - was just thinking that that (in addition to a somewhat under-the-radar post) might be a way they're trying to reduce the number of points they need to pay out.

Did anyone get any reply after sending the email? I have not, nor have I seen the points. I assume the points will take a while but it would be nice to get some confirmation of the email as the deadline is today in case I need to resend.

Nothing yet. I assume they're trying to sift through the emails and somehow determine whose picture is actually whose.
