I actually thought people posting they have won 40 points was a joke. Honestly. I then looked for myself.
Seriously AA? It's probably some new marketing head they hired and she/he came up with this wonderful promotional idea to entice flyers to fly more.
Fail.

Won the 20% off FTD today. When the email came it’s just a public link that anyone can go to and get 20% off. Dumb!

It's very much in the vein of Starbucks games that they do a few times a year, in fact I'd go so far as to say they're using the same marketing company/UI software as Starbucks use.

I just played today, hut NYC, and won 40 advantage miles. With an email arriving immediately after confirming the miles.
Still haven't received any confirmations on the earlier FTD and Preferred Seat Upgrade wins yet though.
