This deal seems like a no-brainer to me, and I' in for all 94 entries!

Few questions for the pros on the forum:
1) Will these points qualify for status with IHG?
2) Will these points be transferable between accounts? Meaning, if I win 75k points and my wife wins the same, will we be able to make a single booking for three nights at a 50k/night hotel?
3) Are these points standard IHG points valid anywhere in the world? Or will there be any restrictions on them?

Thanks all!

1) Don't know.
2) No, I don't think there's anyway to transfer points between IHG members for free.
3) Yes, no restrictions other than availability.

If multiple people enter from a single household, how will MC and/or IHG know that it is not a single person making multiple accounts? Any danger of them all being disqualified? Also, it appears from the comments that not every entry is guaranteed to win. Any revised point estimates for 94 plays?

Sounds like a no-brainer to me. For under $50, and 2-3 hours of your time (which can be spent multi-tasking, or even outsourced), you can get, allegedly, a minimum of 47,000 IHG points, but more likely over 50,000. I say allegedly because the replies to the page where this deal was posted suggests that some people have received zero points from some entries, which would alter the math. However, 50,000 IHG points is sufficient for a stay in any IHG property worldwide (subject to availability), including beautiful hotels in Paris, Cannes, or even over-water bungalows in French Polynesia. So if in fact you can expect 50,000 + IHG points from 94 entries, then it seems like pretty easy money to me!

Did we decide that a 3"x5" index card qualifies as 'paper'? Does it make a difference if the handwriting is on the lined or blank side? Logically it should be ok since it doesn't say 'blank paper' or 'not lined paper'.

A month ago was already the end of the 2nd week of the promotion. From what it seems only the 1st week's admissions have been answered so far.

It seems people are only getting around 1000 or 2000 points out of this even when sending all the cards.

where do you see this?

Emkay · « **Reply #278 on:** December 29, 2015, 11:08:17 AM »

How much would it cost to send the letters with tracking or delivery confirmation in case they "never received my letters" ?

So I saw it a while back before it was posted and I was thinking of doing it, the promo ends Feb. but than it was posted and people were giving the biggest fuss about spending an hour filling out 94 postcards and risking not getting credit by just mailing photocopies. (Im not familier with IHG so I dont know the 'value' of the points) It also seems no one is getting more than a few 500 entries...It seems people are only getting a round 1000 or 2000 points out of this even when sending all the cards. Is it still possible to mail them in and get the full 47k points?

Not sure where you're getting your info from. As I reported above, I got 44K points from my first batch of 67 entries.
