Hawaii-based Airlines - Hawaiian Airlines 80th Anniversary on Nov 11th - 80 free miles

Mahalo for Making
Our 80th Anniversary Possible


Aloha HawaiianMiles Members,

It's been our honor to share our home and traditions for the past 80 years.

To celebrate, we're giving every HawaiianMiles member 80 free miles or an $80 E-Certificate towards a flight between Hawaii and the Mainland U.S. Everyone will receive 80 miles just for registering and every 80th person to register will receive an $80 E-Certificate in place of the miles.

Receive your gift now through November 11 - Link:

Has anybody here signed up for this?

It is really confusing to me --- the text about the offer seems to contradict itself, and the result of signing up is also unclear.....

Specifically, in one part, it says everyone who signs up will get 80 miles; then in another part it says you can't get both the $80 e-cert and the 80 miles. The Program Details wording makes me think you can sign up every day (although today is the last day) and have a new chance at the certificate.
But despite the stuff about every 80th person getting the $80 e-cert, every time anyone signs up (have had a number of family members do it), the results say you've signed up successfully, and seem to say that you will receive both the certificate and the 80 miles, and then in the next paragraph, to check your account to see which you've received.
Truly an amazingly poor job at using the English language.
