Yes, this sad event is now fortunately over.

After more chats and email exchanges all morning, their rep finally forwarded to me by email a pdf copy of the 20% bonus gift card shortly after lunch.

It is hard to understand why their IT portal failed. This is not the first time around they were having a sale. The date was well known months in advance, so they could have been better prepared. They were not.
