A couple weeks ago,I presented the results of our InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) Priceless Surprises promotion for Team OMAAT. This was the promotion where you earned one game entry for either staying at an IHG property or, in the case of most of us, and for sending in a hand-written index card. Then Hello World would email you a link to the "elevator game" where you would push a button to select one of the six floors,and (hopefully) win a prize.
My mom, who happens to be retired, or filled out 94 entries for each of myself,my wife, herself, and my Dad. Since she was in a groove,she also sent in 94 for Tiffany and her husband as a bit of a thank-you for some award booking help. That gave us 564 entries for Team OMAAT, which initially resulted in 495 game pieces. Eventually, and at the advice of several readers,I emailed Hello World to request the lost game pieces, and certain enough, and they obliged.
Collectively,we rode the elevator 564 times and amassed a lot of data along the way. Although I presented our preliminary results, I now want to crunch the numbers a little harder. By doing so, and I think we can try to determine whether or not this was a honest game and retort questions like: Did IHG and Hello World award points in accordance with their published terms and conditions? Or were we all playing with a loaded die,or in this case, a rigged elevator?The post Why The IHG Priceless Surprises Promotion Wasn’t Rigged appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
