All the emails have the same link. There isn't a unique code for each gameplay.
I don't know how it works.
I sent in 10 and received 8 emails.
One of them won 2k, another 1k and the other 6 .5k.
Yesterday, I went back to each email to play more and they worked for quite a few runs (I got an additional ~15 plays). BUT after trying a few links and switching up my floor choices, I landed another 2k win (or perhaps it was the original link and floor that gave me my 1st 2k). I stuck with that link, and that floor. It gave me 2k every time.
So you figure it out. It doesn't make sense to me that it's the same link for every email. Or maybe it is but the floors are a redirect? It seems like the floors are just a JS file. No clue. Let's see if my 2k's post...

All email links are the same. Doesn't matter which you click on. If you have more plays it'll let you play.

You can't possibly get credited before playing. They don't know which button you'll chose.
Go to an email that has a 2k win and try that button and others.
hes saying that you can play it again with the link from a different email

Thanks Emkay.

I was unclear.  I meant credited with a gameplay, not credited with a win or points.

Just learned about this promo today (don't know how I missed it :( ), but anyhow, still have time to take advantage of it. Just couple of quick questions:

1. Does 3×5 index cards work? Not having to cut up paper into 3×5 pieces would be nice.

2. Can we use labels on the envelop or they need to be hand-typed too?

3. Can it be any MasterCard or it has to be IHG one?

Thanks.

Although all these questions have been answered already, I realize you don't have a tremendous amount of time, so:

1. Absolutely.

2. Many have reported success with printed envelopes, but there's no guarantee a disgruntled worker won't disqualify such an envelope.

3. Any Mastercard, even a debit.

Have those points actually posted to your account? The math doesn't seem right. If I remember correctly the T&Cs limited you to 5 prizes that were greater than 500 points. Did you get five 5Ks?

That's strange, 1K prizes used to be group C.

That makes more sense. FYI - any future prizes will be 500 points (unless you get one of the big group A prizes)

They sent me a link for the remaining missing 14 plays. Did 49 total.
44 x 500
3 x 1000
1 x 2000
1 x 5000
Total 32k not bad for not too much work.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Mailed 3 x 94 (3 different accounts, one for each family member) on Saturday 2/13. Thanks for responding to my questions. Now, hoping to get all the plays.

How long has it been normally taking for the emails?

The first emails took weeks to come.
