Netgate Marketing, not cool :(
-
I have to agree with the OP on this one. It did not mention that it was limited to the first XXX of respondents. I'd be upset too if I spent 10 minutes of my time followed by that response - especially after the half-day outage they had yesterday.

First review I did had some negative points and review got refused, toned down the negative and magically the review got published.
Who do we trust in this world 
. I'm sure Netgate marketing will pop into this thread with an explanation so no need to contact them directly. -

We're very sorry for the delay! You will be getting your gift card. We had an unexpected positive response to this offer, so the pre-provisioned funds in the system ran out. We added funds this morning. As soon as that goes through (similar to adding funds to a bank), your gift card will be on its way to you. If you are still waiting to receive it next Thursday, please let us know, and we will personally send you your card. Thank you for being so supportive of pfSense software, and sorry again for the delay!

At least they're fixing it, but it still does not explain only initially granting them to favorable reviews. Especially after @matlear resubmitted his after being denied the first time.

@mleighton it's true I was stuck in traffic on my way home from work which may have been th cause of a few typos in my initial review... Glad you have sorted it out now.

@ernestostvo I'll never do another survey for Netgate again - including the current one going around.
