Hi all,

It seems to me that many of us submitted TS tips to *wood last year with the promise that we'd receive 500 *points sometime around Feb 1. Just wondered if anyone's actually had them post.

Thanks,
Scott

Here is the original thread:

500 SPG points link

The "Grand Prize Drawing" was supposed to be on 1/31/08 & the 500 bonus points posted within 7 days of the drawing (for those who submitted their "tips").

I shockingly have not seen my points post yet, but I'm sure that I am in the minority here...;)

Anyone seem 'em in their account?

Not yet. I had totally forgotten about that contest. I guess I didn't win either!

500 SPs were added to my account also.

I also got 1000 SPs by commenting on the SPG website (from FlyerTalk) - it was really bashing, but I'll take them.

...and I just saw that I got SPs from my WKV renter... weird?

David - every year I have gotten the SPG points from both renters and exchangers who used my WKORV unit. I also get their follow-up survey mailed to my house, in their name, every time and also preview packages in renter/exchangers names, mailed to my address.

Too bad they didn't spend more while there.

My SPG account is just about to hit 300K... woohoo - unfortunately, some of the European hotels we want to stay at in 2009 were re-catagorized.
