It was more to stay in compliance with several published guidelines for open sweepstakes as this was. Also, the live chats are open to the public rather than strictly "members only" and because of that, we were advised to fully disclose the winners names which as you might know from all national sweepstakes has to be made available to anyone who requests that information. We don't disclose winners addresses or email links or anything personal about them other than the fact, they are winners. "Outside influences" might describe our decision choice, and actually we're comfortable operating these bonus offerings in the public eye. No funny stuff here, though we were inundated with requests from others who really, really wanted to win the miles.....

Let's see if your name comes up with United Mileage Plus in April.....
