We weren't trying to get codes,...

Since I get my normal emails from AC, since I did receive the personalized email inviting me to play, and since I actually entered my address in the space, curious where the email with my code is?
Oh, right, there are none left because other people used multiple emails to get multiple codes and "they ran out"

I see they've fixed the glitch where they send you the email confirming the prize you won, BEFORE you even picked a box. The REVEAL PRIZES box was just a complete fabrication as there was no way you were going to get the Free Trip regardless of which box you picked.
AC must really be having a laugh over this.

I dutifully went online over my Illy caffeine fix this morning and I received the email immediately..offering an underwhelming 10% off any Tango fare, yet again. That was before I switched windows over to pick a box to reveal my surprise.

My quick research indicates the Competition Bureau.
Also, this G+M article, from 2011 is interesting reading:

Each day I've "won" 10, 15 and 20% off codes, every single time (5 email addresses).
Today, every single time I got "try again".

I don't think they are smart enough to be tracking IP or MAC addresses. You can't track MAC addresses over the Internet anyways (only on local LANs).
I think they are running out of instant prizes. If you look they only have so many discount codes to give away and they probably under estimated how many people would play.
I'm also getting lots of "Try Again" now.

Some codes for anyone who can use them
We have no plans to travel in the immediate future and want to offer these codes to anyone who can use them. In general we haven't really bothered with the 10% ones as we seemed to get plenty of 15s and 20s.
The numbering system is interesting in that all codes end with "1" and all 20% seem to start with "HT" while all 15% seem to start with"J" and 10% seem to start with "HF". Of course this is just what we got; a tiny tiny fraction of what's out there!
10% H-F-2-R-Z-7-Y-1
10% H-F-3-R-Q-X-9-1
15% J-4-D-E-Y-9-8-1
15% J-4-D-Z-D-A-A-1
15% J-4-E-H-Q-T-Q-1
15% J-4-E-W-B-8-C-1
15% J-9-K-B-8-F-8-1
20% H-T-G-H-P-J-H-1
20% H-T-H-T-T-9-C-1
20% H-T-K-6-C-P-W-1
Help yourself folks.
It's almost 11.35am EST now so the later it gets the more likely these will be used!
Would anyone using or who has used any of the above codes please PM me so that I can edit the list for everyone's benefit. Nothing more frustrating than trying to use codes which have already been taken. Thanks!

Interesting that even though there are 6 squares out of 18 with FREE TRIP, not a single person has reported winning one. With 1 out 3 odds, that seems unbelievable.

A suggestion re too many "try again" responses
I encountered this problem and although it seems illogical, found a solution that might increase the odds in your favour!
DO NOT accept the validation code that you see beside your email box.
Scroll through codes until you find one you like, such as WWWDO which I just used and got 15%.
Makes no sense but these things seldom do.
Please enjoy the discount codes posted below!

Can someone please PM me a 20% code as I seem to get a try again. I'd rather not use a code posted above as someone else might have already used it. Please and Thanks
