Honors Million Miles Promotion: United States Only

I did a search that came up without anything that looked like this promotion. But if anyone finds a thread that matches this, please feel free to delete/merge threads.

A co-worker just came in my office and asked if I had registered for the Hilton/National Million Miles promotion. I hadn't heard of it. So she told me how she found it, and sure enough, here it is:

http://www.5millionreasons.com/index2.html

"Book a Hilton Family hotel stay at HiltonHHonors.com or rent a car from National Car Rental at nationalcar.com between September 1 and November 30, 2008. Complete your stay or rental by December 15, 2008, and youll automatically be entered in the drawing to win one of five grand prizes of one million HHonors bonus points."

You do need to register, and there's a button to do that from the link above (bottom right).

I registered, though the odds of winning are probably astronomical!

Just registered. Like all giveaways, the chance of me winning is zero.

May be close to zero not zero.

The contest rules state you can register online for the promotion up to two times per day through November 30. Earn 174 entries by starting today and diligently reregistering for the next 86 days without spending a penny.

I wrote about this sweepstakes today on my blog.

Your chances of not winning are zero if you do not register. If you register, they must be at least slightly better than zero.

Thanks for the heads up.

There is, BTW, a Travel Sweepstakes forum under Travel & Dining.

As to zero, you can't win if you don't play. As someone who has won a trip to Paris from our PBS station, 2 AA tickets in the US from Nissan, and a trip to San Fran. from Starwood, I'll be playing.

So, thanks, to any of you who don't want to play -- improves my odds!!

Now that's an interesting spin on increasing the odds (ever so slightly)!

I opened the thread thinking hilton finally put a promo out... But I guess the marketing budget all went to olympics ads.

And you know what can really increase the winning odds? Other chains!

Hyatt: FFN
SPG: smth meaningful TBA this month
MR: Megabonus
IC: quarterly promos

HH: sweepstakes?!...

Same here. Why not have it work as advertised. Crappy CS and IT.

...but you're only entered when you book & stay (or drive I guess). Why would multiple registrations matter much?
