A CNBC article says that AA could get free advertising worth perhaps between $42 million and $96 million, depending on how many games are played (sweep would result in lower end, seven games the higher end of the range):

Looks like a garbage game of shooting via facebook is the best AA could muster. I have no idea how you register for the discount codes..... I shoot, I score, I don't see where to register.

American Airlines has home-court advantage throughout the series! We've called both Dallas and Miami home for decades, but we want to know who has the best fans. Play our basketball shootout game, and register for the chance to win one of 10,000 AA.com discount codes good for travel to/from Dallas or Miami.*

Me too...I bet everyone "won" this one, and fares are probably 30% higher for the next two days.
