Here’s a neat contest from AirCanada with a new site called thegreatmigration.ca. It’s a team-based game, but one worth winning. Three winners will receive flight passes valued at $2,500.

Where are we off to now?
I like the contest and to win
The contest is a great idea, but unfortunately the website is full of errors!
1. Initiate a new team, and then invite a number of friends to join. Only the first invitee gets an email that allows them to accept and particpate via a hyperlink allowing them to join. All others repeatedly get sent to “Start your own team” page – very frustrating.
2. Once the Team leader has sent out a couple of invites, it is then impossible to access the page to invite others even though the team is less than the maximum number permitted, so no way to circumvent the initial web failings.
3. After the Team leader has answered the first question, subsequent team members recive an email with a link to their question, but all this does is lead to a screen showing a flight path across North America, a pretty cartoon of a goose with a fishing pole and a couple more cartoon birds. The page reads that “here is your question”, but no way to get past the cartoon and find the question!
4. There is no “help” or “contact us” link on any of the competition web pages.
I called the Air Canada web help line twice, emailed the “info@thegreatmigration.ca” but so far their respinse has been absolutely zip! One has to wonder who Air Canada employ to develop and run their website – a Canadian outfit or some distant Third World $2 per hour sweatshop?
