Day 1 - *fail*

Day 2 - complete *fail*. It never rolled the dice but I still somehow lost. Even WN promotions have bugs.

Day 3 - another complete *fail*. That's one way not to give out prizes, ensure the app doesn't work properly.

Does anyone ever win?

I have played many, many times in SWA contests. I have yet to win anything.

Maybe this will be the one.

I doubt it.

I have yet to see an eprize promotion that was worth spending one's time on. The odds of winning are invariably very poor.

Exactly... $75,000 out of the $111,000 ARV prize total is for the scratch game.

I filled out the form and was told that I was a RR member.

Pressed the play button.....nothing happened. Nothing.

The play field returned along with the button, but now it would not work at all.



Typical WN software.

Update: I used the back browser button to return to the "you're a RR member" page, then went to the game page, pressed the play ("lets fly") button and it worked.

Of course, I lost.

Perhaps all of random times for internet prizes were between July 11 2011 and July 18 2011-- after the official start of the program but before it was officially advertised or posted on Flyertalk.

Tried yesterday, failed.

Tried just now, get this. Lame, lame, lame, lame:

"It's Addictive Isn't it?

Unfortunately you can only play YAHTZEE once a day. But sign in tomorrow (and every day through September 30, 2011) for more chances to win up to ONE MILLION Rapid Rewards® Points!"

Played three days in a row now. Exact same roll each time: 2, 3, 4, 4, 6

Coincidence?

Hit the "Lets Roll" button. Nada, zip zilch, bupkus. But try to play again and it says I've already played for today. Typical SW IT.
