I'm at 35. I wonder how and when the points will arrive? communication has been weak, except for the single email stating that I am eligible, there has been nothing.

anybody actually receive these pluspoints yet? kinda curious to see what I can do with them.
 
Finally got my first 500 PlusPoints. Took about 40 days.
 
Still haven't received the 1,000 Bonvoy Points we won. Those were won back on January 17th.
 
Well this is new...

CONGRATULATIONS!​

You've won an Abound Beach Towel! Look for an email coming shortly on how to claim your prize.
 
Damn. I’ve been playing this stupid game over morning coffee since the beginning. Squadoosh. Bupkis. Not even a towel.

Just the 1000 Bonvoy Points for us. Had 2 perfect match games and got one entry for each of those. I keep hoping for the 500 Club points. We're not usually very lucky so not much hope of other prizes for us.

What exactly is a perfect match game? I don't think one can go through with every click being a match?
 
I posted about this in the Vistana thread, but it looks like we won a weekly draw for a 2 year II Platinum membership. Just not sure 100% if it is for our Marriott account or Vistana. After I did what was needed to claim the prize, there was a button with a link back to Marriott, so hoping it hits our MVC Corp II account as that is what we primarily use. It wouldn't benefit us much on our VSN Corp II account.

No missed matches, hit every one. Probably worth more to me than 1000 Bonvoy points LOL.

How can you have 0 missed matches? I usually miss the first two tiles I click. No missed matches sounds like the equivalent of a perfect NCAA Final Four bracket.

It can happen. A few weeks ago I finished Wordle in one guess because it was the one time they were going to use the word I usually start with. It's have to be a bit luckier than that, though, but a bit less lucky if they didn't win anything but more drawing entries....

I guess it CAN happen, but two perfect match games? That is like getting Wordle on the first word twice in a row. What are there, 36 squares (6x6) on the match game? That means 36 exact matches without a miss across both games? Or is it just that when an image is uncovered the first time, they don't miss it when they turn over the second matching tile?

The only way I would get a "perfect game" would be if all the images were in pairs side by side. I always start in the upper left and click the first two, followed by the next two, then the next two. If one of the tiles uncovers a previous image, I go back and match, or at least try to...

Agree. Either he has a loose definition of perfect game, or I’m calling BS with you.

correct me if I’m wrong…but I believe it would be 18 EXACT matches per game.

I suspect it's a loose definition...

The thing is, it doesn't matter how good or bad someone does at the game. A prize or entries is predetermined when you finish it.

And that was the point

But you still made a pretty bombastic claim that you haven't really explained...

Not sure there is any additional explanation needed. You don’t believe what happened and that’s fine. Once you hit the first two or three the odds were much better.

The match game is only 4 x 4. so 16 total tiles- 8 matched pairs
