I hope this is a joke or you get banned.
First off, they're called SDer's (I think thats the right term anyway) and I really wish there weren't so damn many here. Maybe if some people like Ieichstein (assuming it wasn't a joke) waited 5 minutes before assuming they were being wronged, you just might have got one. Like I didn't have one when this thread was posted, I didn't have one yesterday, but I magically got one randomly today. Moral of the story... you're entitled to nothing and could have very well got one without being a douche.
As far as the rest goes... I would have never known and I think that goes for many people. Sadly this is the lesser of two evils, since BB never sent me an email or any sort of notification I got one. So thanks to this post, I not only got $5 dollars, but I'll probably go buy Pokemon Y from BB. Also known as, everyone wins.
I don't like to just be rude, but you're clearly a dumbass or trying to troll. Programs like this aren't meant to be an insult to those who miss out, but simply get some people to come back. Also, contrary to your "walk over their most loyal customers" remark, I've actually gotten every single $5 dollar credit in the past 3 years and had Premier Silver. Finally, nothing is rightfully yours. This was probably a targeted promo or something random. It's not like this is the Sony program where they arbitrarily called X people the "most loyal" and by extension called everyone else worthless... this was simply a free gift you didn't get. With this being said, I will gladly debate this with you, but only if you reply with maturely with some sort of logic that isn't I deserve everything because I spend money.
