I dont see any games to click on. Is this a Firefox issue, or is it down, or is it restricted to the US detecting foreign IP ????

This has been great. I've earned 1,100 miles so far and if I book US on a DCA-RDU trip I need to book (on which they're the cheapest anyway), that's another 500.

Now we'll see if and when they post

I'm not sure I understand your reluctance. I would never use Twitter, but that didn't stop me from signing up for an account expressly for the purpose of following/tweeting about companies that want to give me free points for doing so (including AA).

In fact, you can easily earn more free points since some of the items in this promotion involve posting about AA and their partners, which I can't stomach since my Facebook account actually has some links to real friends. No shame in being a corporate shill when you know nobody is listening anyway!

Has anyone received details about the "Beat Your Goal" part of the promotion yet?

The terms state:
From March 21 to May 23, 2014- beat your personal Elite Qualifying Points goal and earn 2,500 American Airlines AAdvantageŽ bonus miles!

Simply earn Elite Qualifying Points for flying on American Airlines, US Airways, and our oneworld and other partner airlines.

You’ll see your personal goal within a few days of providing your AAdvantage number. Come back to see how you’re progressing throughout the promotion.
My details are not posted yet but I am very curious to see what the mileage requirement for this will be.

Is anyone having trouble with the "invite a friend" referrals? I've had two friends log in through my referral link and they show up as playing, but I'm not getting that passport stamp.

Isn't the correct answer Envoy?

No - Envoy will be one of the carriers. So it will be "American Eagle Operated By Envoy", "American Eagle Operated by Republic Airlines", etc.

Same here. It says to come back in a few days to see personal goal. How is that generated? Is it random? Is it based on flight history? I have a TPAC coming up during the promotion and would love to get the extra miles.

Are the two "friends" using the router in your house? My friend that brought his computer over to my house didn't get me the points, but my friend that was at work, got me the points.

I agree. Have not done Facebook. Will not do Facebook. Rather leave the miles on the table.

To the people unwilling to create a facebook account: Why don't you create a "junk" account for this and other promotions? I have friends that don't have their real or full names on their "real" facebook accounts. And, many people create accounts using a different email for games and promotions and providing comments on websites that require facebook accounts. You don't have to use your real email or use your real name or upload a photo.

The rules for the promotion state: "Then provide your AAdvantageŽ number and name as they appear in your AAdvantageŽ account..." so it does not matter if your facebook account is real or not. I know its cool to rail against facebook sometimes, but in this case it is unwarranted.

I also haven't received my personal goal.

On another note I have received all stamps under "Be social & earn completed", but my bonus stamp is not awarded. Anyone else having this issue?
