How many have gone to Circuit City and taken advantage of their free gift card when they knew a shipment of games was late? Circuit City had no control over that, yet you chose to get your free $10 gift card anyway.

Oh this is nonsense. Of course they had control over it. First off, they didn't to print that byline/ad! But they did! Entirely of their own volition and accord, unless you've got proof that an army of retail terrorists are holding guns to the heads of their marketing department. And they probably did it EVEN KNOWING every time they do, they'll have cases where people are getting the card due to shipping problems.
That's CC's deal they are offering TO ME as a customer.
Beyond that, lots of CAGs have reported CC not upholding their end on this, and instead choosing to make up any number of excuses to avoid giving the GC.
So this isn't even comparable. At all.
Anecdotal stereotyping. Goes real nicely with the last sentence of your post, by the way.

But I'm sure nobody who's arguing that what the OP did was wrong has had any problem doing any of those above.
