Abound contest

[buzglyd]

Got the email for the awesome new Abound contest. Clicked the link and it links to nothing.

Par for the course these days.

The winner of the Abound contest will be the first person who clicks the link and it links to something.

Maybe even something useful.

What email? Some of us never got anything, apparently.

The links worked for me. The prizes are pretty good. Still, took a pass.

I think this is their attempt at smoothing things over for a horrible launch

Okay, I am in the same boat as @rubbernyc , no email here and I even did a search of all my email for the word "abound".

I did not receive it either. They might be slowly dripping it out throughout the day.

Haha Grand Prize won’t even completely cover my WSJ SB diamond season MFs. Yep now well over $5k for a week. Prize probably funded from all the late fees due to the IT issues.

Just got the email. I click the link and all I get is:

And just like that I just got the email and the link worked for me.

 

[sponger76]

Tried it on my phone instead of computer and it worked.

Worked great for me - no instant wins, but lots of sweepstake entries. Simple stuff to do and appears to be good information to continue teaching everyone what Abound really is. I expect the TUGGER community will keep us aware of any questionable material posted - enter daily to win more.

If you're using a computer, try your phone. For some reason that's the only way I could get it to work.

I was using my iPad and just got Merkle. It did work on my phone and I did the contest and won One Extra Grand Prize Entry!

I haven't received the email, but was able to enter after logging into to vistana.com.

I started reviewing the linked FAQ and this caught my eye:

I thought one could rent CPs? Or, can you only rent them to MVC owners?

From Marriott's perspective, Renting doesn't equal transferring.

Got the email, and my eyes glazed over as I started to read the sweepstakes rules. I cannot believe they've dedicated so many resources to this rather than get their damn IT issues squared away. This is sure to bring more traffic to already pathetically under-performing systems.

 

[dioxide45]

Can someone post a link to the contest for those that still don't have the email? I suspect the link isn't account specific?

Thanks. I guess I should have tried logging in to check first. I see it on the Dashboard.
