New Total Rewards promo just started, not working for me

Anyone that got the "first 2,000" $20 best buy code having troubles with it? Mine is not recognized....

Same problem here.

I've decided not to claim the trip to LV prize I won, too many hoops to jump through to claim. I was notified by email on Sunday I had won the trip. Needed to sign affidavit and marketing release, have them notarized(couldn't do this until Monday & would have needed to take an hour minimum off work, then mail the affidavit to Michigan so it arrived by Wednesday(which meant paying for fed ex overnight service). All that to fly on some unnamed airline, and stay at some unnamed Harrahs property and get dinged for $1,500 prize on my income tax.

If I wasn't in LV staying at CP comped 3 weeks before the dates for this prize trip I'd probably be more inclined to jump through their hoops, but someone else can enjoy this free trip as someone else will be awarded this prize if I don't meet all the requirements to claim this prize.

Update: Sunday I had sent an email to the prize fulfillment group asking about that 3 calendar day deadline, yesterday and again today I got a reply(each one about the same, slightly worded differntly).

"Thank you for contacting us regarding the Escape to Total Rewards Promotion, your question is extremely important to us.

We are currently looking into your issue. Please allow three businesses days for a reply.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

ePrize Customer Service"

I get 3 calendar days to jump through their hoops and they get 3 business days to get me an answer.

Wednesday my 3 calendar days are up, wonder if they will reply on Thursday.

Tried to enter the 10 bonus codes today and it says I already entered them.

What a waste of time.

Does anybody know if the Facebook codes are unique to each individual? For instance, the code I got today from the Paris page is HC7PJY.

I see the same code.

Wow, been reading these results each day. Kind of glad I haven't bothered.
Sure doesn't match Race to Rewards last year.
Good luck to those involved.

FWIW, I did notice the other day, about the 2nd or 3rd day of the promotion, that the 1st prize in the instant win, the trip to South Africa or $3000, has already been won. So we are doing all of this work for lesser prizes.

As for the instant win trip prize to Las Vegas, I agree with raisin7 that it is a lot of trouble (especially the fedex and the taxes), for something we'd do anyway for less than $500 (not $1500).

I do hope this isn't the replacement for the Race to Rewards. That was fun to plan, and fun to go.

Thanks, that makes it much easier.

Has anyone heard of "Social Rewards" I was reading an article about the improvements to the Total Rewards program and there is going to be a "Social Rewards" where you earn I guess rewards credits for using facebook, twitter, foursquare for checking in to the hotels and whatever else you can do with the social sites.
