Baggage Claim Game -- 1000 easy miles

Here's a new game/sweepstakes promotion: http://www.aa.com/baggageclaimgame

I registered and won 1000 miles. Then my daughter registered
and won 1000 miles. Then my son. Looks like the game is rigged to make
everyone a happy "instant winner".

Is this legit? I can't find any mention of it on the AA website. Worried it might be a phishing scam -- the site looks quite amateurish.

It goes to "aa.eprize.net". I don't think this is legit...I would call AA before trying this.

Cheers.

I just registered 3 AAdvantage numbers. Two won 1000 miles; the third won 500 miles.

eprize.com does all kinds of Internet contests for MyPoints, Hilton, etc., so I wasn't too worried about it. The 500 miles I got from this, though, was the very first time I've ever won something from an ePrize game.

Incidentally, from the terms and conditions, it's once per day for the remainder of the month:

Limit: Each participant may play one (1) time per day during the Promotion Period. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of plays by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's plays and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of an automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.
A 500-1000 mile winner each day would be nice, wouldn't it?

So young (relatively speaking), and yet so cynical.

The very fact that its operated by eprize makes me completley confidant that its legitimate. As others mentioned, ePrize is pretty much the go-to company now for these promotions. Citibank, Hilton, Doubletree, Dell, Crest, United, Expedia, MyPoints, and more have all used ePrize in recent months.

Edit: Curiously, I didn't win any miles (the other account I registered won 500). Instead, I got a message saying I had won something from the eShopping Mall and to expect to hear from them via email soon. Any ideas?

Thanks everyone for the reassurance -- I got 500 miles but hopefully will be able to get more on subsequent days...
