Okay so if this is true, then it wouldn’t matter if someone was applying every day…?

Yes, it doesn't matter! Last time I "won" the lottery, in 2021, I applied everyday for maybe 15 days. They don't track how many times you triedHonestly, SAs don't know squat about the lottery, that's why you have different info from one to the other

I'll be in Paris during FW. I'm worried if there's no bag left for me bc im really looking forward to score BK this time.

Paris stores are quite busy even before Fashion Week, I can't even imagine what it's gonna be, but anything can happen.
Funny story today, I was at George V just an hour ago, I was at the shoe section upstairs with my SA, and a client from Middle East was facetiming with a friend, and she just turned the phone towards the SA, she didn't speak and let the lady on the phone do the talking And so she introduced herself and said that she desperately wanted a pair of Chypre. SA seemed to be amused but politely said that they only had tiny sizes.

This is interesting. I’m a statistician/data scientist professionally, and they must have some algorithm to process the daily # of requests for an appointment. From what I’ve observed and heard from this community, you have a greater probability of scoring an appointment if you have a France profile, I also believe how long you’ve had a profile makes a difference. There must be some sort of logistic regression model they’re using…

I'm an auditor and I have the same feeling as you. I do think there's some sort of algorithm.

Same. Especially since those who “won” the lottery seems to be those with some purchase history.

Does anyone has any insight on visiting Paris in October? What's been your experience? I know the lottery is hard and there are so many variables that decide whether or not you even get a offer, but is that generally a good time to visit where stock may be plentiful?

I won the lottery system twice in both Paris trips within 3 months. One time in sèvres and one time in George v. it’s still no guarantee for a QB. They didn’t have any stock in either. I did get the Herbag I wanted with GHW at GV. But no QBs that day. Some of the others were all told the same. I was dressed head to toe Hermes and have qbs. So it’s not based on what u dress like. They just didn’t have any stock. So even while winning u may still not have won anything lol

In Paris currently… I find that I don’t get the rejection emails anymore and I keep having to fill in the form twice “to check browser” and once validated the page refreshes. Anyone else getting this?

Same. What I do to avoid filling it twice, first I let it empty and click the validation button, then it checks the browser, then I fill the form.

I chose a B30 in Havane chèvre with bleu indigo interior and RGHW.

Reading these posts makes me excited for my trip in 1 week! It will fall on fashion week and i am fully prepared to walk away empty handed (as the trend for me when i travel). I will simply appreciate the chance to be there, and hopefully can get a pegase bag charm!

 

[justdennis84]

Do you think this is done on purpose to reduce the number of successful requests?

Noticed that a boulangerie, that became very famous, states on Google Maps that they are temporarily closed, but in fact are not. Maybe it’s the same idea here
