Congratulations to all the winners! Don't forget, you're still eligible to win more prizes for week 2, 3, 4 and the GRAND PRIZE. You just can't win more than one of the same type of prize (e.g., you can't win 2 GMAT courses but you can win 1 set of practice questions and 1 GMAT course).

Congrats again!

Hi Nadesai,

Thanks for participating in the $100K Challenge. I'm sorry but neither BTG nor our sponsors are issuing refunds to people who purchased products before the competition. That being said, you are definitely still eligible to win other GMAT courses, admissions consulting packages and, of course, the Grand Prize 5 school tour.

David

Hey David now that is my point of concern. I have messaged you before the bonus ends there...check your message even posted in various forum links.....
Now if I know the link before expiry date....do you think I would not click it and will instead message you, that there is a problem...
When I reached the link , "There it was written You already earned 8 points" . But there was no increase in my points. Since I liked it before..so I tried it by unliking and liking again.....It didn't worked and that's why I messaged you...
I found u were busy as ur daughter got ill (how is she now??...hope she is in best of her health)..so I thought not to disturb you untill I got ur reply today..


Please check the time of my message to you in ur inbox and expiry time of the link. You will get everything clear...that I was not able to click because I can't {"you earned * points" was there, though its not now..i}.....hope you understand...do reply...

Also the very next day i run out of likes...and was not able to click bonus link (but I think running out of likes is part of game)

Hi Shashank,

Sorry about that. I looked through the code and couldn't find the cause of the bug that you mentioned. Unfortunately, we can't give points outside the normal course of the game. The bright side, though, is that missing one like/share won't materially affect your chances of winning.

Hey David,

yeah I think that would not be a problem in wining prize but I would not top the leader board..
I had problem in one more bonus(i.e. of 4th october and I lost it too even after finding it ), a different problem rather ..
so should I discuss it or leave it....
.
well i proved my point for the last link(i.e. bonus 3rd october).. I was hoping that you would give me my points as it was due to some bug...as I also like webdesigning so I now these bugs could appear...but that 8 points is very legit as I gave my reason in my earlier posts.. you should add those points in my account..
.
well if it is not possible, then leave it....
.
there is no point discussing the other glitch... :( :( :?
whatever I lost total 16 points though I am there on BTG for more than 18 hrs...

anyway thanks :)
