I solved the puzzle but no points for me.

iflyjetz Nov 18, 2015 4:32 am

I can't get it to work. Logged in, put in my SPG number. Nothing.

Out of my Element Nov 18, 2015 5:34 am

I didn't win but was excited to see that SPG is adding a property in Iceland!

JohnSIN Nov 18, 2015 5:39 am

So he who found the competition won nothing but 50% of the flyertalk members have....

Will call my Ambassador to fix this!

Yes me too! Though I read that the aurora is going into a less active cycle from next year or so

nothing for me either....hopefully next time....

Plumber Nov 18, 2015 6:18 am

Thanks! Got 1000 points. And I usually never win at these.

ckendall Nov 18, 2015 9:15 am

No points for me...

Absolute Nov 18, 2015 11:42 am

Nothing here either, but huge thanks for the OP for finding it - these contests always seem to be hidden by SPG!

Fizzer Nov 18, 2015 1:22 pm

Thanks. No points either. I speculate , however, that if a hotel is in the SPG competition it is likely to be one of those that comes into the SPG portfolio.

JohnSIN (is that name intentional or a misfortunate combination?), thanks for posting this contest. I finally got it to work and won ... drum roll please ... entries into the final grand prize drawing.

I just wish the grand prize was something like this:

Kagehitokiri Nov 18, 2015 4:13 pm

iceland is confirmed? ion hotel. big win for starwood.

i will look forward to earning points there, even if they are 'worthless' :D

If you want to go to Iceland, consider staying at a hotel in Grindavik for at least a portion of the trip; the Blue Lagoon's there. http://www.bluelagoon.com/

I've never been to the Ion Hotel but if your goal is to visit the national park there, I'd probably opt to day trip it unless you're looking for isolation. Of course the population of Iceland's just over 300K (1/3 of pop in Reykjavík) so it's not hard to find isolated spots in Iceland.

Sorry, Not This Time!
 
You're not an instant winner this time. :(

Wow - first time I actually win something at these things - 5k points.

Thx for posting !!!

tfong007 Nov 18, 2015 7:03 pm

No win for me. But I will try again. Congrats guys on the wins.

solewalker Nov 18, 2015 8:41 pm

Didn't win anything either. But 29 more opportunities. Will see if I can break the streak of zero wins from any SPG promos!

I've never won any of these things. The closest I've ever come was that Hilton online game promo a few years ago that I was close to getting diamond status at when they canceled it due to people cheating. Ironically, that's when I started really focusing my stays on Starwood.

JohnSIN Nov 19, 2015 5:21 am

Finally justice is served and I won my first 1000 points.

Thank you Ambassador!

CLEguy Nov 19, 2015 7:39 am

Two days of nothing. Fun little game though!

mhdena Nov 19, 2015 10:59 am

I can't get the puzzle to load today.

imverge Nov 19, 2015 6:40 pm

I WON 10,000 POINTS!!!! :D ^ :)

Must be the day for it - I just instantly won 10,000 SPG points too :-: :D

I like this competition much better than the last one (on which I had no luck).

Thank you SPG.

SuiteFlight Nov 21, 2015 1:05 am

FYI - Just noticed on the email SPG sent confirming instant win (right down the bottom) that

Oh well, it's the second best instant win prize (after the free night at 1-5 category property) so that alright to retire on.

Keyser Nov 21, 2015 1:56 am

just won 1k points....:)

mahasamatman Nov 21, 2015 10:58 pm

You're an instant winner.
You'll receive 1,000 Starpoints.

It pays to play...

chad75 Nov 22, 2015 3:15 am

I'm yet to win anything :( but from today's puzzle it looks like Mainport Rotterdam has signed up :)

I'm really ungrateful. Didn't win anything in all the other contests. Now that I've actually won my 1000 points, I'm wishing I hadn't... :P... because:

*One instant-win prize per person for the length of the game.



Ah well, Grand Prize!!

khabah Nov 22, 2015 5:26 am

Three days, three tries, zero wins.

Meh. Positive vibes for the rest of this thing.

mahasamatman Nov 22, 2015 12:13 pm

I wonder about the prize valuations, too.
Points: 2.5¢ per point
Cat 1-5 hotel: $171.00 per night
Cat 1-6 hotel: $250.00 per night
Also interesting is that the Cat 1-5 night has a definite expiration (31 March 2016), but the grand prize has no expiration listed.
