Also, I just a 10% certificate. If they are released by a certain number daily, then it might be possible the reset time is midnight Mountain time, based on the fact that I got about 00:45 MDT. Just a guess.

For those that got 10% codes, was this because you scored high in the game or is this mainly a chance based code? If there is skill involved, then I am pretty far off right now since I can only get to rank 36 in the baggage riding game!

Check your Junk Email folder if you don't see your certs immediately. That's where mine ended up. They are sent from '[email protected]'.

Apparently, all the certs they were giving out earlier was a bug...Tried to instant win 5 times (using various e-mail addresses) and was told that I didn't win, and nothing sent to any of the addresses.
That being said, I'm currently sitting in 4th on the line jump game.

While the games are fun and all (heaven knows that I could only take only so much Bubble Spinner) along with giving me a chance to win10% certs, could these games be a sign of things to come?
...like expecting to ride on my carry on fast enough to propel myself to a ramp in order to bypass long lines and keeping an eye out on children who may throw pretzels, Coke cans and United-branded neck pillows at me every time my SWU doesn't clear on an IPTE 777?

The download for the Unity player doesn't seem to work on Macs. I unpack the .dmg, the install seems to work, but I keep getting the prompt to do the install. Restarting the browser does not help.

Not sure about that, I had my mom play the game on her Mac, and it worked fine, AND she won a 10% off e-cert, too! ^

I got a 10% cert for the first trial!
But not with another e-mail address...
Fun promotion, I like it, though I wish 10% off can be used for international flights..
