*A 10 year anniversary 2007 - promos

I'll update this post with information and links to *A 10th anniversary promos as they become available.

The 10th anniversary is on 14 May 2007.

*A

*A 10th anniversary website

Entry requires *A FFP membership (except Japan), mileage earning international *A flight (except Japan, Germany, Switzerland, South Korea, Norway and Austria) and answer a few simple skill questions. According to the T&Cs, multiple flights on same ticket count as 1 entry. What if the various flights are credited to different *A FFPs?
  • RTW first class trip for 2 to 5 of 10 selected destinations (South Africa, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, USA, Portugal, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada, Germany) with USD5000 spending money plus transfers accommodation and the specified excursions. Qualifying flight between 14 May and 30 November. Note the RTW trip must meet FRWSTARx rules and is non mileage earning.
  • 5 winners per month, for each month until October (first month is now to end June) - a business class trip for 2 to 1 of 10 selected destinations with USD1000 spending money plus transfers accommodation and the specified excursions.
  • 1 winner per *A airline (ie 17) per month, for each month until October (first month is now to end June) - 10000 miles (or 100 airbucks for NZ)
  • 16 winners per month - gift from prize pool of 5 sets of Tumi luggage, 25 video ipods, 50 bottles of champagne

I am actually surprised that there has been really no promos for this special milestone.

I was hoping for something like the 55555 miles promotion from 5 years ago, not just some prize draws...

I'm fed up of the email address collecting 'promos' where one bunch out of 2 million get a prize. How stupid do they think we are?

Man, if they had such a nice promo five years ago, we can only hope/expect that they have something nice this time around. It would suck if they didn't...

I'm confused. I don't see anywhere to sign up for the prize drawing on either the LH page linked by the OP, or on the link I received in my email below.

Star Alliance celebrates 10 years -- With 17 members that
reach more than 850 destinations in 155 countries, United(R)
and the Star Alliance(R) make your travel experience easier.
And, you can earn miles no matter where in the world you
need to go. This month, United is pleased to celebrate a
decade of service with our fellow member airlines. Find out
more about the Star Alliance 10th anniversary.

Am I missing something? It's entirely possible I need more coffee.

And I agree that a prize drawing seems lame compared to the promos at 5 years.

Thanks, KiwiFlyer! Now that you point it out, I see it clearly, but I couldn't find a hint anywhere with my morning eyes and brain. That'll teach me to scan for mileage opportunities pre-caffeine.

This was a HUGE disappointment!

Competitions are just poor, and won't create any buzz like the 5 year promo! Honestly I was actually expecting more than this!
