I already won!!! On my first swing I hit a single and won an instant win prize of 1,000 SPG Starpoints. Hopefully I’ll win another prize or two during the sweeps! I’d sure love to win tickets to the World Series! (I’ll keep dreaming about that…)

Beth, Ken & Chris- What you’ve described has happened with my wife’s account every time too.
Played 4 days in a row, icognito once, not icognito the rest. Random teams, random pitches… Each time, two strikes and then the player hits the ball on the 3rd pitch and gets caught. No prize for me.
That’s how it’s been for my wife and I every day since this started. 3 pitches, last a hit, and always caught for an out. Neither account has won anything.
Ditto for my wife and me. Random teams. 3 random pitches, flys out on the 3rd pitch. Using incognito windows when switching between accounts. I will post all of our results later (www.flyfamilyfly.com
Ken- I doubt there is any strategy. At the beginning I tried picking teams that don’t have good pitching but I highly doubt it led to me winning 1,000 points. Keep trying and good luck!
Dave M- Interesting theory. My wife didn’t win the first day I posted about it but it did seem like there were many reports of wins.
Is there any trick to this? I’ve played the past few days for my wife’s and my account and haven’t won anything. Pick random teams, pick random pitches and just hope the guy swings and hits the ball? Every time my guy hits it on the last pitch and it’s caught every time.
I think there was some problems with the game play mechanisms early on and every one who was playing was winning. Either they ran out of prizes or they fixed the issue…
Does anyone know if the award (an amazon card or starpoints) is based on where you play or where your starwood profile has you living. My registered address is in the US but I actually live in europe and would much prefer the points. (If I win._
Trust me not every entry is winning-I got bubkis
Greg T- Good luck on winning some prizes!
Andy- 5k is a nice prize!
If you intend to play multiple accounts, do it in different instances of incognito. The second account may fail, but shows the success of the first account.
Got 5k spoof SPG points as Canadian
I played 4 times yesterday for our 4 accounts(Wife & 2 college age sons) and did not win anything. I would love to get MLBTV for my son who is an avid baseball fan. If any of you do not want to use that prize I would be interested in using it. I already played once today and failed again. Hope I can get in on what all of you are doing!
Andrew H- Awesome & congrats!
PJ- Yea that MLB prize is kinda lame! I think it has to do with cookies. When I played for my wife, she struck out but it said she won 1,000. I got an e-mail right away, she never did.
guest- Nice job!
Nick- Very nice!
Everybody Hates- That’s what I was thinking!
Chris- Awesome- I’m going to hold you to that! 🙂
Jose- Keep trying! 🙂
Dave- Def a nice prize! I had the same thing w/ my wife but she didn’t get a prize e-mail. I think it has to do with cookies/ tracking.
Ok, something must be broken on the site… I just got a single for my wife’s account and another $50 Amazon gift card. I’m not sure it’s possible everyone can be a winner…
Thanks! Got a double and a $50 Amazon gift card….
wtf bro.. hit that damn changeup and flied out… ARHHAGHAGHAGHSGHAHGAHGAH
You just jumped to the top of my “Favorite Blogger” list. Just tried my first pitch and got a hit worth a $50 Amazon gift card. Thanks! My next app will be from here.
(P.S. I knew the guy on the mound was going to give me a change up. He was lucky I didn’t hit it out of the park.)
Thanks for sharing! I got 1,000 Starpoints too. At this rate, the prizes will be gone quickly.
Won 50.00 amazon gift card 🙂
Thank you for the info. I just got a triple and 10,000 starpoints. Not bad for my first play.
I hit a triple…but unfortunately the prize was premium MLB free for a year. Would have loved the points. Strange that my wife made an “out” but it also said she won MLB premium for a year. Buggy?
If you use the same browser, it shows the same prize. I thought my wife won the $50 Amazon gift card like me, but the email showed she won 1000 points.
I just hit a double and won a $50 Amazon gift card!!! Already got the email too. It says it’ll be sent within 3 weeks! Wow!
Andrew- No prob and congrats! That is awesome!
I got a double, got 5,000 points! (I’m from Canada) Thanks 🙂
