This forum will never end it will expand and continue forever and take over flyertalk eventually unless a statement is issued. If no formal statement from lawyers
1. posts of receiving the items (another 50 pages) "yay i got my glitter case waiting to book my round the world first class plane ticket"
2.people asking when the miles will post (another 75 pages) "we want those miles now!"
3.people all asking if anyone got more than the 13 miles per dollar(another 100 pages) "surprising no one did"
4.people all angry (another 100 pages) "we were ripped off i expect a million miles for my glitter cases"
5.people threatening to boycott verizon and aa mall and lawsuits proposed because they think they are owed 1.5 million miles for their glitter case purchases (another 150 pages)
6.reality
haha there is no way anyone did this on purpose.
Buy ten glitter cases and get 1.5 million miles!
This would cost them millions of dollars there is no way this was designed it didnt even really get them good publicity or anything. If they had miles they wanted to give way it wouldn't be off of selling glitter cases. It sounds like your trying to talk yourself into thinking your actually gonna get these miles?

- A few will ask if this deal is still alive (as far out as July 2012 I bet)
- Newbie needs "advise" on using AA miles for their honeymoon to Timbuktu
Now if against all odds we get some decent amount of miles from this, a side party must be had at the Chicago DO!
For entertainment and the FAQ section we should compile a full list of events for the next glittergate. I guess there has to be one if they issue an official statement or email one if they don't
