12 Days of Christmas

Just received this in my e-mail:

Sure, someone may want a partridge in a pear tree, but those of you who are frequent flyers understand the 12 Days of Christmas in a different way. Starting on Wednesday, December 13, those of you who are registered for our popular email newsletter . MilesLink . have a chance to win up to 78,000 frequent flyer miles. Heres how it works.

It's your chance to earn lots of miles from us! Starting on December 13th, WebFlyer starts the "12 Days of Christmas" promotion where you can earn real frequent flyer miles. Each day at noon (MST), we will be posting a randomly drawn winning name on the 12 Days of Christmas page of WebFlyer (go there from the top of http://www.webflyer.com). Check every day to see if your name is posted. Names will be posted for 24 hours starting at noon (MST) and ending at noon (MST) the next day. If you see your name, simply e-mail us WHILE your name is posted and you will be awarded 1,000 to 12,000 (depending on which day you win) frequent flyer miles from any of the programs posted on the 12 Days of Christmas page. If a day passes without a winner, the frequent flyer pot will grow by the number of miles offered that day, increasing daily until some lucky flyer flies them home, a nice bonus this holiday season! So, check every day to see if you are a winner (actually we think you are all winners...you did click into WebFlyer didn't you?).

Each day, the winners' names will be posted under the day they've won. Just click the "claim your prize" link to claim your prize while your name is still posted. Remember that you have until noon the next day to claim your prize. For more information, check out the rules link.

On the first day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 1,000 FlightFund miles *

On the second day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 2,000 Aviators miles *

On the third day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 3,000 Canadian points *

On the fourth day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 4,000 Marriott Rewards points *

On the fifth day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 5,000 Dividend Miles *

On the sixth day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 6,000 Executive Club miles *

On the seventh day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 7,000 WorldPerks miles *

On the eighth day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 8,000 Starwood starpoints *

On the ninth day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 9,000 SkyMiles *

On the tenth day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 10,000 OnePass miles *

On the eleventh day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 11,000 AAdvantage miles *

On the twelfth day of Christmas, WebFlyer gave to you... 12,000 Mileage Plus
miles *

So, how do you register? If you're registered for our email newsletter, MilesLink, there's no need to register again - you're already entered! If you have never registered for MilesLink, do it right now and join the fun! Even if you've arrived after the contest has started, you can still join in by registering now!

Sorry to dissapoint you but only a one-time message and we're not going to post your actual email address. We'll post your name and your domain name but not your user name.......We too worry about spam issues by posting an actual email adress.

Hope this eases any worries. Good luck to you all.

Anyone else realize that the twelve days of Christmas DON'T START ON DECEMBER 13TH, they start on DEC. 25TH, and they run for twelve days until JAN 5th. January 6th has traditionally been EPIPHANY, the day that the wisemen were said to have arrived at the manger to bring their gifts to the newborn Jesus.

I hate to get TECHNICAL, but the twelve days of christmas don't start for another 12 DAYS!



P.S. I'd still take the miles, though, even if they DO come a few days early! Great idea!

If we are going to post the person's name here why don't we just email them to let them know they won. Heck why not just send them the prize. I think the idea was to get people to LOOK at the WebFlyer main page everyday, as in driving traffic to your site. JMHO so no need to flame please I'd be happy to see my name on the boards as the winner but I'll still check the main page everyday, which I believe is the "spririt" of the sweepstakes.

You're absolutely correct! As another voice crying in the wilderness to another, I like to remind folks of when the twelve days actually start.
Yes, I'll take the miles too

Same here. 01/01/01 is the first day of the 21st Century in my book. I will also start counting the 12 Days of Christmas on December 25.
Think of it as the one present you get to open early!!
