Aadvantage Scavenger Hunt Contest, 270,000 miles
AAdvantage Scavenger Hunt
You could win 270,000 Aadvantage miles
http://aadvantagemilestones.com/pages/contest.php
You can enter up to 10 different days.
I’m not sure if the questions will change.
(Note that it has been pretty slow. Maybe because it is the first day?)
There are three questions in the Scavenger Hunt. Each question comes from a section on the MilestonesTM site, which means every answer is just a couple clicks away. Now all you have to do is find them. We’ll even provide tips in case you get stuck.
Answers:
1. Acrobat Show

Everyone gets different questions. One of my questions asked about London. It asked which large park was visible when St. Paul's Cathedral was shown on the map. I answered Hyde Park because that's what the map on the aa site showed. But when I submitted my answer, it said this was wrong. I went back to the site, and both Hyde Park and Regent's Park show on the map, but the web site only accepts Regent's Park. BOTH parks are very close to the Cathedral.
SO . . . if you get this question, answer Regent's Park even if you see Hyde Park.
(And now I have lost my chance to enter today, because you have to get all three questions "right" or they drop your entry. Pffffft!)

Now the page with the questions is loading, but when I try to search by going to the home page and selecting either a city or a message board (per the instructions) it does not work.
Another "Not Ready for Prime Time" game....
