This. They're trying to entice more flying, possibly during a low season.
Except I'm looking at booking flights for before September 15, and I haven't entered a "high fare" time yet. Sure, a flight tomorrow might be M+, but you can buy much lower fares for 21 days from now.
Anyway, I'm going to send them a little Twitter message, expressing my displeasure at being excluded.

Got the email also - my most recent booking was for a ticket to LAX about 2 weeks ago.
I'll pass the next status tier by a comfortable margin. Had I been a couple thousand miles short, for sure, I'd have done a round-trip to somewhere using the offer.

I asked the twitter ACAltitude and got this response:
"Hi, you may receive a msg/may not - its random at this point. We will update if we have more news"
Very frustrating. Knowing this makes me want to book the competition as planned. Feel free to submit your frustration to @ACAltitude as well. Maybe they'll change it. Though I'll probably be on my way on UA by then

Not yet. I'll retweet it to Altitude (rather than the generic AC account).
Heh.
It's random? What the heck is that supposed to mean

random emails and 'exceptional' lack of requirement to register- sounds like ALT clean up crew will be at work. regardless, I rebooked all flights to be in the timeframe where feasible so view this as a 'maybe/maybe not' bonus.

"the bonus is random at this time. It isn't targeted to specific individuals."
I'm going to tell them I'll randomly decide who to fly on, and not target a specific airline.
