The new bubble game is awesome. Way more fun than the last two! Haven't won anything yet, though...

I won a RCC pass today (first try). Not that I needed it much for my short connection in SFO, but at least I could pick up an internet code for future use. ^

I've been having a terrible time getting certs between midnight and 2AM PDT. Which game?

Agree...the other ones I would just play and lose as quickly as possible to try for an eCert...this one I actually play. :)

Is there something wrong with these 10% off ecerts?

Just won one earlier today and when I try applying it online it just returns an error message:

We were unable to validate the promotion code or eCertificate number you entered. Please verify that the code or number is entered correctly and the promotion has not expired.

Just check an Optathlon 10% e-cert from last week and it worked fine in a dummy booking (SFO-EWR default dates)

I've won nine in the past three weeks and have personally used three without a problem. Have done dummy bookings with several others today and didn't get any error messages.

Can I win the RCC passes in advance of my travels? I am under the impression that I can only use a won RCC pass on the day I won it. Is that true? Or, should I be playing the games every day hoping for a RCC pass that I'll use in the future?

Wow, since the games came out over the summer, I've only been able to win one RCC pass, which doesn't help since I have a membership to the club..

I just won a 10% ecert and tried to use it and got the dreaded "We were unable to validate the promotion code or eCertificate number you entered. Please verify that the code or number is entered correctly and the promotion has not expired."

Pretty annoying as I wanted to use this while a decent HNL-EWR fare is available.

follow-up: Used the web chat feature and the agent told me it takes 24 hours to activate the certificate.:rolleyes:

I have been playing the bubble one for hours (oops) and got as high as #74 on the leader board. No whiff of certificates.

How do you earn them? By scoring well? By clicking instant win after every play? What?

It was posted earlier in this thread that it's only valid for the next two days.

I did it by clicking instant win after the first play of bubbles.
