CS told me that it only applies to those who are targeted and that they should have all gotten emails. I explained that I had two family members who, for various reasons, might not receive the emails even if they were supposed to (which is true and is why I called). I had the agent check the accounts of the two family members I thought it would benefit and she told me that neither of them were eligible. I did not raise the question of registering even if you are not eligible. She was able to check very quickly and seemed familiar with the promo. My guess is that even if you get an automatic email confirming your registration, you will not get the status; as to the RDM's, I would think those slip through more easily, so perhaps.

Not eligible per CS
I registered and got an email confirmining. I called to make a reservation and asked if this would count toward HVCAA. I was transferred and had to talk to TWO people. Finally told NO you are not eligible!!!!!!

I certainly will, but given that's it's UA, I wouldn't hold out hope for anything decent.

I will save my breath on the call tonight (about to make it in fact). Time to keep it on the down low and hope the computer system isn't smart enough
. I'm ok if I don't get anything anyway!

Can't you just go to the Advantage drop-down menu, choose "News and Offers" and then "Flights"? Thought if you knew the code (HVCAA in this case) you could generally enter it there.

2... And no, sorry, I don't think that it's at all intuitive to go to "News and Offers" and then "Flights"... for a promotion.

There is no evidence that those 'two people' were competent or had any clue as to what they were babbling about, nor that they didn't.
Just saying.
I've been told, as many have read here in other posts, nonsensical things from many at AA, including the EXP desk, Customer Relations and Customer Service.
The only way anyone is REALLY going to know is, A), They REGISTER for the promotion, and were NOT invited, B) fly the 25,000 miles in the allotted time frame to see if they were awarded the 8 SWUs - and double miles.
