Useless offer to long haul flyers. Beyond useless actually, get more miles on other OW codes. This is targeted to domestic road warriors.

Perhaps this is but the opening act?
I think I used to get 500 bonus miles for doing surveys a few years ago.
There was a time around 2005, maybe 2006 where you could play games and get miles, a very significant amount too. People were getting free F tickets from North America to Asia, which was around 110k round trip at the time. Took a fairly solid time investment into the games, but it was doable. I wanna say I ended up earning around 10-15k miles from the thing before they cut it off.
