My apologies, I interpreted the IHG/ANA match improperly

A quick heads up on a post I wrote roughly a week ago where I intimated I had matched to ANA Platinum from IHG. I had gotten overly excited when I saw the announcement and mistakenly assumed a couple of things about the targeted offer. One, that you needed IHG status to try and match, and second that when I got notice I had matched, it was certain. In fact,  you don’t need IHG status to try and match, and second, while I did get notice that I had matched, so did everyone else, and it isn’t certain.  I should have crossed my “t”s and dotted my “i”s, but alas, I didn’t.  More than likely, by sheer volume, this deal won’t go through, but we can keep our fingers crossed. My apologies if there was any confusion, and worse yet, if anyone felt deceived by the post. The original post has been amended, and honestly I still think it’s worth a shot if by some miracle it goes through.

    IHG does have some history of shutting down accounts over similar incidents, so there is a small, but non-zero, risk of registering when you weren’t actually targeted.

    It does seem too good to be true. At least there should be safety in numbers as IHG or ANA is unlikely to shut down tons of accounts for trying.
