Give them some time. They have to manually reboot the gift card servers.

$10 to Uber eats, so basically it’s covering fees only.

dinckelman ,

Not only that, but usually to activate these cards, you have to spend upwards of double what the card is worth too, and the fees cannot be included in the total

I can't believe this isn't satire. I hope these incompetent fuckers get sued into bankruptcy

sanpo ,

I’m still not sure. It’s hard to believe anyone at their company would OK this idea.

Are they actually trying to deliberately kill their brand?

iAmTheTot ,

You haven’t heard? Satire is well and truly dead.

David_Eight ,

There’s definitely some clause with the $10 gift card that says you can’t sue them if you actually take one lol.

I straight up thought it was satire. How can you be so fucking detached. Basically caused the biggest information infrastructure disruption in human history, probably billions in losses, and then be like “my bad lol here’s a giftcard”.

I cackled loudly. $10 won’t even buy a meal at McDonald’s most places.

One of the rare cases where no gift would have been better

especially since the gift card provided doesn’t work. “here’s a 10 dollar giftcard for our screw up…also it doesn’t work…go fuck yourself”

Holy shit, they also cancelled it. Lmao

On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

Gotta love some shit icing on the shit cake.

The gift care is also cursed.

I expect these clowns to lose most of their market share within two years and get sued to oblivion.

My firm bills by the hour and so far I think we are at 10+ billing hours per consultant wasting time with client tech support trying to get back on our VDIs. Nevermind how much time is being wasted doing the work through work arounds. My guess is that our firm alone will bill for about $100,000 extra this month while having accomplished less than normal. I am sure Crowdstrike’s gift card will fix it though.

Fine. You want two?! Will that be enough??

They’re backed by the US government. They have a backdoor into most endpoints on many international corporate computers. And CS is behodent to US laws for NSLs.

This is an incredible asset to the US intelligence community. They won’t let CS go out of business.

This is a classic move to not get sued, exactly like airlines do. If you try to sue them after redeeming the gift card, they can argue that you’ve been made whole, and do 'ot 'eed additional compensation.

Rolando ,

Not nearly enough. CrowdStrike should give a pizza party.

I see you’re channeling the powers of middle management.

Only needs a sticker that says “You’re a rock star!”

Outside, the sign says “Heros Work Here”. Inside, two people do the work of four.

Above the entrance: "Labour will set you free"

Not to mention mugs with crowdstrike branding on them, but only for 1/3 the invited people.
