Keep checking. I have access to six accounts - from no status to A+ and CP. All received the promo offer.

One of those was registered for a 3X promo earlier this year, while the others have had no similar promo offer in quite awhile.

Two of those live in one state, while the other four are in a different state. If this is targeted, maybe it's based on address associated with account.

Received it about 7pm Herb Daylight Time.

First Promo of any kind I've received in well over a year.

Just got it and registered. I have 1 flight that the price jumps $60, so no refaring for it (YET), but the other one is static, so I will rebook for the promo!

Nope. I got the offer and my husband didn't. (same address). It's a bummer because he will have some paid trips, while I'll use points for mine.

I received it. Was able to cancel and rebuy 3 flights, but 3 others had gone up.

I'd keep checking. I got mine this AM. Looks like they are staggering it.

Daughter got e-mail this morning; neither wife nor I have, all 3 with the same mailing address; daughter hasn't paid for a flight in years as I use my points for her. I tried keying my name and RR# into the link in her e-mail, no dice. Here e-mail mentioned Atlanta, I assume others have their city inserted in the e-mail offer (but no mention of an ATL requirement in the Ts & Cs)

FWIW mine did not specify a destination.

I found out about the promotion by logging in to my RR account yesterday. I have still not received an email notification about the offer.

Therefore, I suggest checking the promo section on My Account and not wait for an email.

"A qualifying flight for Rapid Rewards is a one-way revenue flight"

Do flights booked with points count as revenue flights? If so I've got some re-faring to do for those that have stayed the same or gone down...
