Appreciate the info. There's 30 seconds I'll save the next few mornings!

Won 5000 pts! Was not expecting that ^ Edited to add: I gave up picking cards and just selected the one that it defaults to, which was W this time, if that makes any difference

I've chosen St. Regis every time. Bad strategy? Or is it all so random it really doesn't make any difference? I would just feel dirty if I chose Aloft...

The Hyatt promo (75K points for 25 nights) really makes me want to move all my nights to Hyatt. Maybe a Vegas trip is in order....

Not me...got my 75,000 points and 25 stays in the last promo and have no interest in doing any more for the year. Will continue to enjoy my SPG stays.

Ditto, no luck at all. Ten days left, fingers crossed for winning something.

I wonder if there's a better chance if you try at different times of day? I've been doing it UK mornings, which would be middle of the night in the US.

I never did understand the rationale for delaying the registration of a future-dated promo.

Why can't we register today for a promo that starts later? I get that the bonus only applies to stays of 2 or more nights from September 12-December 18th.

Am I missing something? To me it seems like a silly and needless requirement.

If anything it just forces me to book my stays with Hyatt so I can secure a better rate for a stay I have planned in mid September.

Completely agree. It makes no sense to do it this way. I held off making bookings for a while in anticipation of the list of included properties, registration link.....but gave up waiting today and went with Hyatt and IHG. "Coming soon", but not soon enough for those wanting to make September bookings. Silly way to operate but symptomatic of some poor marketing choices by SPG in recent times.

I won 1,000 points on the first day. Now when I look at "Earned Awards" on my account on spg.com I see:

Qty Award Description Eligible Stay Dates Book By
1 OPEN MORE GAME SWEEPSTAKES 08/22/2016 - 12/31/2016 12/31/2016
It seems like perhaps I won a free night as well? Seems a little strange. Anyone else see the same?

I've won nothing so far. Neither has my wife. Am hoping it'll take pity on me before the promo finishes!

Still nothing for me. Five more opportunities left.

I won a free night and I see the same thing.
