Expedia 15th Anniversary Million Point Suitcase Scavenger Hunt

Expedia is running one of the coolest contests I've seen in a while right now on Facebook. It actually takes some travel knowledge and a whole lot of perseverance (even to just to understand the instructions!), so I'm guessing most people won't have it in them to take part. But as you probably guessed, I do! 

As you can see, Expedia is giving away 15 sets of 1 MILLION Expedia Rewards Points. I'll try to break down the steps for you:

Like Expedia on Facebook (easy enough)

Click on "Suitcase Hunt" on the left (similarly easy, but now comes the hard part)

Read the extremely elaborate, 11-part instructions. In short:

Click on the active baggage tags on the Facebook page (first three are active until this afternoon, then I presume 3 more will become active):

Scroll down and read the clue:

Scroll down to the bottom for extra hints (or follow them on Facebook/Twitter):

Once you've figured out the location (or have a guess), go to the Facebook marketplace and type in the word "suitcase" along with the location to where you think the hint is pointing you. [NOTE: you may have to try more than once--the search tool is quite finicky]:

 And look for a picture of a suitcase that contains the same tag as the clue:

Then once you find it, click on the blue "I'm interested" button and send the stock email. That enters you in the contest. 

They'll keep releasing new tags all the time, so you have to keep checking back (similar to how you had to for the recent Orbitz 50 Faves contest, which I also loved). 

Only 2600 people or so have found the first 3 suitcases, which means my chances of winning are probably better than they usually are for these competitions. I admit, some of the clues were pretty tough. I'll give you some clues in case Expedia's don't tip you off enough: Oceania, major U.S. city, and "Love Field" should have been capitalized. Get on the first three ASAP before they expire!

UPDATED CLUES FOR ROUND 2 (reminder--you may have to do the search a couple of times with different radiuses...Facebook marketplace is fishy):

The island with the saintliest sounding name; 

Think about the fact that he's a jail bird that can't escape near wine country--and then search that city with a 50-mile radius (wont work for 250)

This country's flag has the world on it, just like that tag (and they love soccer)

The font of "horseback" gives it all away

Any of you have it in you to try to win a million Expedia Rewards points? What would you do with a million points??
