Optathlon Game on United's Website
 

My apologies if this has already been posted. It appears that there are new games on .bomb. They're actually pretty fun. Who has the high score? Which FTer? You can instantly win a variety of prizes including a 10% e-cert, which I just won ^, or for GMs, E+ access, RCC access, Premier Line, etc. You can also win a sweepstakes prize of (holds pinkie finger to mouth) 1 MILLION Miles!

It is pretty fun, Ive played it a little bit at work today. Both times I won a 10% E-Cert

I just got two 10%-off ecerts this afternoon.

Also won the 10% off cert.

Not surprisingly, 10% here, too. Does that mean UA is raising/has raised fares by 10% or more? ;)

Fun indeed. Won 3 10% off e-certs - now to hope United doesnt jack up fares by that amount or higher!

This is probably a promotion to match the recent AA 10% off coupon.

I've tried loading each game, and each time it fails.. :(

sorry for the question- how does one get to the game?

Scroll through the ads on the main page, or wait until it gets to the last one.

Most likely. I think they give one per e-mail. Very weird.

They seem to give as many as you want.

Did it prompt you to download Unity (et al) drivers? If not, your may have a browser issue. It's probably not going to run on 99% of our browsers without everything they want to load onto our PCs.

Thx - OP! A pretty fun set of games and an easy 10% code!

Thanks, I figured it out. Just had to close Firefox... I saw scores for iluv and exerda, to name a few.. By the way, how did you receive your 10% coupon?
