Since the vast majority did not get the Giveaway miles (including yours truly), let's not flood this thread with "Not me"s -- Let's let the lucky ones gloat in their glory.

And as for the mystery postings -- What are they labeled?
" Your-exclusive-offer " is the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...30-2016-a.html
May one of the lucky ones can post the label for their reward.

Any where was that date promised?
All I see in the rules is the
and
to start the process of qualifying them. Other than that there is no timeline.
8 - 12 weeks or even longer is not uncommon for this sort of event.
Best to sit back and just wait. This will happen but on their timeline, not ours.
As for being a ruse, the potential penalties for not completing this are huge. It will happen.

[QUOTE=marquiss22;27515710]I was shocked to see the email today, I actually won 2nd Place - 5K Miles in this promo. I am happy to be one of the 130K 2nd prize winners
Congrats to you both!
Happy for your co-worker! However, not so much sympathy for you given the posts above where I quote you kvetching because they didn't respond in a couple of days. Not to point out there were millions of entries. The odds of multiple (any) FTers were slim. FTers are not the whole universe LOL.
For those that said they didn't trust United, etc, this is all done above board/follow legal stuff, etc, you're off base. Sweepstakes in the U.S. are highly regulated. No legit corp/sweeps is going to screw over folk because they'll be in a boatload of trouble legal wise & end up paying penalties.
PS - For those who are interested in travel sweepstakes, FT has a forum for that: Free Travel Contests & Sweepstakes
If you're interested in travel sweeps, please follow in the above link & not in this thread (unless your comments are related to this sweeps specifically).
Cheers.
