The IHG Priceless Surprises promotion runs through February 15, 2016.

I have been procrastinating on this. The reports that computer printed envelopes work reduces the effort required considerably. In a cold practical calculus the case can be made for or against. There is a fun and element of chance that pushes me into the camp of finally doing it.
Readers, what have been your experiences?

I hand wrote the cards but not the envelopes. Problem?
@Nick – all reports I have heard are that it is ok and that is what I am doing.
[…] folks have had mixed experiences with this. Via Rapid Travel Chai, one Deals We Like reader won a million points. It seems like some people did receive entries that […]
51k and 3 yet unanswered. All sent before end of December.
Printed envelopes eliminate 40% of the labor. I hand wrote all
Marv here, I already sent in my post cards. My hand is still on fire. I wrote so many of the those damn cards. Messed up on like 4. Anyways, I won like a solid 54k points. Harlan and I are planning a sweet ass trip to Barbados. I wish they were HHonors points. Oh great, I have 54k points to Holiday Inn Express! Yippee! Yeah, I know. IHG has Intercontiental, Crowne Plaza. But 40k-60k points a pop. WOOF, no thanks! Can’t throw away all my Vegas winnings at one night at the Crowne Plaza outside of Orlando!

Argh, I’m gonna break down and do it, too.
Thanks for reminding – good way to spend a snow day!
Definitely worth it for me! Takes about 2-3 hours to submit 94 entries (including printing envelopes, writing 94 index cards, and mailing them). To get ~50,000 points is well worth a couple of hours in front of the tv and $50. IHG and HelloWorld seem to have the system ironed out a lot more now, and we’re getting confirmation emails in a few weeks and the points posting a couple of weeks later.
Two emails came through earlier today. I mailed the first 14 envelopes on Jan. 2nd. Very first try I won 2,000 points. 500 on the second one.
I was wondering if its too late to you ‘register’ for this promotion. Thoughts?
@Jodan – I think ok to still register and then as long as get them in by Feb 15.
52k points so far from the 75 out of 94 entries that I had mailed on 12/12
writing my cards today as well! taking a break right now. 45 down so far. it’s hard work!
