Our Verdict
There are also some bigger prizes that will be given out on the 18th, hopefully a reader wins the 1,000,000 point prize. You’re not guaranteed a prize unfortunately, but I know somebody won one of the big AA prizes last time so thought it was worth posting. Reminder that Southwest recently devalued their points.

This was unexpected after P2 and I won a total of 50 miles playing daily which have yet to be credited to our account.
Congratulations! Some of our prizes from the Wanna Get Away Day Sweepstakes went unclaimed, so we did a redraw to keep the celebration going. We’re pleased to share that you are the lucky recipient of 1,000 Rapid Rewards® bonus points as a 2nd chance redraw winner! Your prize will be awarded to your Rapid Rewards account in the coming weeks.
Hmm, I was never actually credited the 1k miles or the 50 miles.
On further review they went to P2's RR account but emails were sent to my email. Odd, but I'll take it either way.
Apparently I also won another 50 points in a second chance redraw.
Awful promotion, AA was much better. I was trying in the afternoon confident that the "high demand queue" leading to dinged emails would've been resolved after 5ish hours but still got queued in ! Few minutes later I got the email of being "so close but not a winner". Thanks SW, no dice for you either.
Days Entered: 14
Points won: 0
50 close!
I feel your pain
Grand total: 550 points.
Now “demand” is so high that entries are placed into a queue with the promise of an email in a few hours. Not exemplary - enough to make you wonder if their technical difficulties that led to cancelled flights earlier in the week are linked to insufficient bandwidth.
Finally receive another "5o close" email. I entered every day from June 2-18 and received a grand total of 50 points. This was garbage.
this giveaway so stingy I might just provide my SSN and wait for the 1099
Grand total of 0 miles won so far. Not sure why I keep playing. It'll be over in two days.
Looks like the site is down - not processing entries this morning. Tried different browsers and different devices.
I received the usual email about not winning anything 2.5 hours after I initially tried. I didn't even get to go through the exercise of clicking open the bags (knowing that the email that tells you what you've won, or not won, is instant and has nothing to do with the bags).
This is the most stingy giveaway ever. The American Airlines one felt like it had a good chance of winning miles (many 50 miles, 4k once). This one I've had 50 miles between P1 and P2 the past week+.
Same - 50 points for me, 0 for P2. Still waiting on today's mystery prize of maybe you'll find out later in an email for both of us.
