This did not happen at the sky club. The agent processed the downgrade right at the desk and the guy was given PS. They sent him the gift card via email as she requested that. The gate agent specifically said the offer was available for rows 1-9.

If it was indeed difference of fare PLUS $2K then that would be different.
As far as I know, there was no mention of difference in fare. It was only for 2k for the amex gift card, amazon, delta, etc. The starting offer was not 2k. The starting offer was at 600 originally because they justified that you were going on the same flight and just a downgrade into a lesser cabin. Of course no one took it for that price.
