Has anyone gotten confirmation that a 3 x 5 index card will work? CSR mgr told me they didn't know so they wouldn't recommend.

It goes until February. I'll wait until I get confirmation from someone who won with a precut 3 x 5 cardstock.

I just read the official rules and was surprised to see this statement:
"Limit: One (1) prize from Group A and five (5) prizes from Group B prize per person."
If that's the case, then each mailed submission will NOT yield a prize. In fact, the expected value of this venture is probably only about 2,500 IHG points.
Someone please CMIIAW.

Ok, I'll be happy to be shown I'm wrong. But what is the other group?

Whew. I just read the rules again and agree with you.
500 points seem to be guaranteed -- that's group "C" -- with each submission.
I incorrectly lumped group C with group B, because they are in the same table, all under 1.b., in the rules.
Ok, time to get the kids working on their penmanship!
Thanks, EJB.

I have about 50 ready to go. Waiting for the first report of a link sent by email as a result of one of these submissions. I think the company handling this promo is realizing that they didnt charge IHG enough for tjeir services.

They underestimated the #DDF/DDMS effects.

Anyone call in to check the status of the entries?

Still nothing.

John's getting angry!

I think they may be waiting till the promo end to send the emails, to discourage all those people waiting for reports before sending/writing their own cards.

That's against their official rules, which give them a limit of 5 days after receiving them.

Well.. If there are no reports yet, I guess they don't have an issue violating their own rules.

Anyone sent certified?

Doesn't help. Rules say they decide what they receive.

Yea, but with certified we will know if they violated the rules.

i don't think we need to keep asking. I'm sure the first person who receives an email will share with the rest of us. every time this thread pops up again i get excited in vain! no more posting till we get an answer!
