One important thing to note (according to the issuing letter I saw) was that this was a 10$ credit no strings attached. That actually makes me pretty happy to see it and I applaud them for it. Usually companies will try and attach a paltry sum like this to some thinly veiled settlement agreement to trick customers into surrendering their right to sue... in this case it was actually a gift - it may be a tiny gift, but it's still a gesture of good faith before the lawyers get involved.

Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

Probably a split bargain deal with Uber Eats as it is not a useful amount for an actual order and the extra customers trying to use it will result in a net gain. I bet they are only paying a relatively small fixed amount because of the net benefit to UE, if they are paying anything at all. I can easily picture UE doing a $10 campaign on their own targeting the general public for the same promotional potential.
Nice try CrowdStrike PR.
Damn, they're onto us.
Too bad the people who tried to redeem it weren't able to.
Are you telling me crowdstrike shipped something broken? Unbelievable!
One important thing to note (according to the issuing letter I saw) was that this was a 10$ credit no strings attached.
The "strings" are that $10 isn't enough for an order, so in order for anybody to actually use this apology token, they still have to pay money. While the credit itself, may be free, using it is definitely not.
It was only for select VARS in their gold tier and higher, not to mention they stopped doing it yesterday after backlash.
Fucking laughable.
I guestimate that IT people at my day job had to pull an additional 20+ hours in a week each.
I haven't heard if that got any gift cards but it wouldn't equate to the morale hit or OT pay hit (if anyone was hourly).
This is what happens if you let criminals choose the sentence
