Just now realized that it might be better to sign in early in the morning rather than late in the afternoon as I've been doing for five months! I guess I missed out on much of the daily "action" each day! Do they do it every hour or what?

doc ~ I don't think it matters, I thought the rules said that they just take all the entries from the day and draw eleven winners (10 5,000 miles winners and 1 30,000 mile winner).

Thanks, Beckles- Good to hear and good news to report. Just got the early mail today and low and behold in a truly nondescript package, which I nearly tore up, was a "You are a winner mileage certificate on American from MSNBC rewards. I never got any email notification for some reason. Fortunately, due to a close call years ago with tickets from Ticketmaster, I learned to be more careful about "junk mail."

TravelDave- Though I just started getting going again on AA, I'd be pleased to trade for your CO vocher if you like. Please let me know if you're still interested! Thanks!

Doc--Congrats on your good fortune. I still have my 5,000 mile cert for Continental and would like to explore a trade with you. I didn't see your email address in your FlyerTalk profile. Can you email me at the address in my profile so we can discuss this further?

Congratulations Doc and all the other winners. I tried but am not so lucky.

Good going. I'm sure to win nextime.

Sent earlier today! Thanks!

Gosh, I need to check these boards several times a day. I just checked the MSNBC site and it told me the contest has come to a close. Oh well, if I keep checking here you savvy people will keep me informed.

They had stopped or threatened to once before but this last time they actually stopped for real. Perhaps they will start agian! Good Luck!

Won 5,000 miles on Continental, but it took 12 weeks and 3 phone calls to get them in my account. Luckily America West, which I am taking from LAS to ORD and back, gives Continental miles.
