Today my prize is "502 Bad Gateway"... guess I'll wait to see if I get a prize email.

Either the site is down or United has the site blocked on its wifi. All I see is a blank page.

I hit refresh a few times, got a 504 error instead, than finally got a 500 point win! The email got sent almost instantly after it showed up on my browser, so apparently they roll your entry at the same time as you load the winner page.

I won an error code!

More importantly, I won the direct # to Marriott's IT department. Duly noted and saved to my phone.

Also, I just noticed the Copyright date at the bottom. (C) 2002 - 118. Is there some significance of 2118 or the year 118 in Mormonism?

There seems to be a timing hack we could apply, in my experience so far: I go first, then my gf does her's. Only twice have we had different results, I got 2K points while my gf then got 50 points that same day, and she got 10K points after I got 50 points that same day. We of course do them immediately after each other but very interesting results, anybody else have the same thing happen?

We do back to back. Mostly 50 and 50.
The 2 times my husband got 500, I got 0.

This is the 13th day on which I've entered for two family accounts, one after the other. We only got the same outcome (50 points) on three of those days.

From 26 entries so far we have 7 "sweepstakes entry only", 11 wins of 50 points each and 8 larger wins (four each).
