yups, am aware of the sms registration (sent it in on the second day). well, there's where the business trick comes in! i noticed in the t&c that there were only 5,000 units of the micro cube system to be given away (http://www.standardchartered.com.my/personal-banking/latest-promotions/credit-cards/creditcards_megaspend2012/tnc.html) hence i called the customer service up to ask them this q -
what if there's 10,000 ppl spending above RM8k during the promotion period out of the 17,500 sms received?to which i received the reply -
on a first come first served basis. the 5,001th person to spend > RM8k will receive the coffee maker, regardless on whether he spent above RM8k. which sounds logical, considering they prolly ordered 12,500 coffee makers and 5,000 micro cube systems from Philips before hand

u must be pretty lucky...prolly the 4,000++ person to walk away with the micro cube...lol
then the first 5k sms tat reach them first will get it.

i understand its not fair too, but oh well..tats the limitation with the limited amount of gifts they got..
i can imagine the frustation when those making HARD effort to spend 4k hoping to get the coffe maker and in the end not getting any cos its not enuf to go about with it..
summore the sms when u send, they dun inform u whether they've alrdy receive 17.5k alrdy onot...which is fair too, cos the bank is not sure whether all the 17.5 sms tat comes first would spend 4k or 8k...

catch 22 situation i would say.
