Interesting promo.
No advance notice and it's for only 3 days. How could anyone make a decision to purchase an extra flight in this time frame.

Thanks. Have to fly tomorrow afternoon (5/2) so I'll add it to the growing stockpile of semi-useless miles.

Members can register retroactively until May 10 - that's 7-9 days after flying. Highly unusual.

I'm guessing that those who register will be sent a survey about their flight experience. Just a guess, though.

This is a stupid promo. Sounds like some sort of weird test to see how fast something can be distributed via the net.

I guess I should read the offer instead of wondering....
