CrowdStrike offers a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for outage | TechCrunch

Several people who received the CrowdStrike offer found that the gift card didn't work, while others got an error saying the voucher had been canceled.

@TechCrunch

And a slap in the face. Don't forget that.

@TechCrunch

That is $10 per device, right?

@TechCrunch According to Microsoft, that’s like ~$85 million dollars for all PCs—unless it’s one per account…

It’s too bad the gift card computers still seem to be affected by the outage…

@TechCrunch @anildash Offer that to…whom? To all the lowly techs that had to go out and physically reboot all the remote machines? Or to the one VP of IT who decided to purchase CrowdStrike to begin with?
@TechCrunch This reads like the onion.
@TechCrunch I would say a naughty word if they offered me one.
@TechCrunch this has to be the most tech bro thing of all time.

@TechCrunch 'sources' but no comment from the Company.

Let's hold off on whether this is actually true

@TechCrunch
You may need to order up to fifteen times before you can apply the gift card.
@TechCrunch I believe we have video of this apology....

@TechCrunch There’s a discussion on HN where people tried to use the card and found it was cancelled.

👏…👏…👏

@TechCrunch Perhaps that's all they can afford at this point.
