Promotional sweepstakes/miles giveaway aside, I believe some (most?) of the videos are from 1MM+ BIS AA members. I would guess one or more of them are FT members (whether or not they wish to admit it), but it looks like there was solicitation of stories ahead of the general promo.

Registered and posted their hashtag laden post to Facebook. Judging by new newsfeed, my friends like free miles as much as I do

And let's not forget that over the last 10 years your miles have been devalued too. I'd guess that number is closer to 0.01% if you start thinking about dollar value versus # of miles.

Is my understanding correct that as a British person living in London, I'm ineligible for this promo? That's most unfair if so. "Thank you for your loyalty Mr XXX". Hmph.

Evan Apple discontinued iCards (as part of the Mac.com suite of web service in the early days of cloud) in 2013. Not that cards made money, they probably imposed a very small cost but garnered some goodwill.

I submitted my info for the firs 350 miles. For the 2nd 350 miles, I want to send an email. Interestingly, my AA number isn't automatically inserted in the subject line. I'll type it in, but I doubt a person manually reads all these emails to look for the AA account numbers.

Yeah - very questionable how they award the 350 miles for the email share.
At first I thought they had to receive an email from the email address used in the promo.
Now I'm thinking that just clicking the "email" button is enough to trigger it. Much simpler that way.
