Interesting.
I guess there is still a hope for those who bought intercontinental at "low-fares" (see $200-300ish). AZ is famous for such "offers" (I did a run BCN-FCO-NRT/KIX-FCO-AMS for about $300 ai, I even had to modify my return ticket - my last tag was a FCO-BUD operated by MALEV one week after they went out of business - so I called them and they offered me to reroute me to BUD with someone else or to take me to any other European destination on Alitalia in "compensation" for the "lost" leg
). So they were quite cool.
Also don't forget the Japanese tourists who just "legitimate" advantage of the offer
As for the free tickets with no credit card (which I bet it is the majority, I wonder how many people here booked dozens if not hundreds of tickets)... I am sure it is extremely easy to cancel them... with no even credit card payment/refund.

Word of Advise and Caution
Remember the (USA) legal contract law concept of "CONSIDERATION".
There needs to be "consideration " in order to have valid contract,
even just $ 1.00
In case of unilateral cancellation by AZ I think it is important that you do not pay $ 0.00. I paid 452 yen = $ 5.78 per ticket for Paris - Istanbul Round Trip in Late March 2013.
Just confirmed 10 minutes ago using Chrome.

i repeat: this is not an error fare; they advertise this coupon on their facebook page (official!); if they cancel the tkt, would this be considered misleading advertising?!in my opinion, yes!

I'm not disagreeing; I just think it's stupid and moronic when people on FT start screaming that they're going to litigate.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
I've tried Chrome, Safari, Firefox... the website always comes back with:
I have been getting that same message for hours... 
Edited to add: Roundtrips were pricing out for me at first... now nothing will...
