$100 K challenge

by ss60 » Mon Oct 04, 2010 11:29 am
When I try to register for $100k challenge, the system is not allowing me saying that I don't have 25 friends in face book.

Is there any other way to enter this challenge or is it compulsory that you need to be a face book user with atleast 25 friends?

Hi Sergio,
Sorry to hear that..
Here are the Steps to follow
You need to log in via Facebook before you pre-register. Here are the steps:

1. Go to beatthegmat.com. If you're logged in, then log out
2. Log in again using the "Login with Facebook" button
3. Go to https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/100k
4. Hit the "Pre-register" button on the page and then "Publish"


You're all set!

Also Can u please go to facebook Page of Beat the Gmat and Have a look at the photo album with name
"How to Register for the Beat The GMAT $100K Challenge"...that will help u clarify more with screenshots incase u are missing something...
Please do reply back if u are not able to register even after that....

thanks
A body of clay, a mind full of play, a moment's life - that is me!!!

Hi sandeep800!

Tryed to register again, and again recieved an error: Your Facebook account is not eligible because it was created after Sep 1, 2010, or has less than 25 friends
Did all the steps u mentioned, as did them before... Logined via facebook (as you can see I have a "Facebook connected" badge), than clicked on register button and recieved the error message :(
What a pity, but looks like I won't be able to register and win something that could help me to prepare for GMAT.
However, thanks for trying to help.

Sergio.

@ss60 and @Sergio, I'm sorry but it is required that all members who play the game have a Facebook account that was created earlier than September 1, 2010, and that have 25+ friends. And so if your account doesn't meet those criteria, then you can't play. Sorry!

oh, I see. Thought it needed to be earlier than September 1, 2010, or 25+ friends
Thanks DavidP.
Hope there will be other games in the future that we'll be able to play.
