Looks like I'm likely to make platinum this year. I already have Nexus, so don't need pre-check in addition. I'd like to be able to gift it to my sister - any experience with this? Unfortunately, T&C seem to indicate it's unlikely to work. Darn, could end up being kind of a waste of quite a nice benefit.

Hmmm. Mine wasn't tied to my name or anything. I could have given the promo code to anybody, they only asked for it at the very end and the guy processing my application seemed caught off guard, we'd been through everything else at that point, he didn't look at the name on the paper or anything, he just entered the number as if he would have entered a credit card number.
My point is, when I did this I think I could have given my code to anybody .
However, this was in 2015 so YMMV.
Here is a copy of the email I received when I participated in this promotion:

Thanks to the OP on this. Looks like I'm eligible (i.e. platinum status), and I was thinking of taking the plunge anyway so this could well save $85.
12/27/17 edit: Signed up at ATL near the Delta counters at the far end of the check-in area on a Saturday. Worked very well. I brought the printed out e-mail from Orbitz and the lady there keyed in the code on the letter. That checked out, saving the $85. ^^
FYI, they had my KTN available online in about 4 days, and the printed letter via snailmail not long afterward.
