‘ 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the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”’
- pfdietz 2y agoOh good grief.
- mikelovenotwar 2y agoPlease let this be true. Hilarious
- Rinzler89 2y agoCrowdstrike, WHY DID YOU REDEEM IT?!
- bombcar 2y agoDO NOT REDEEM!
- Pesthuf 2y agoYes, I'm redeeming the card, I'm redeeming the cards, okay!
- Sohcahtoa82 2y agoFor anybody that doesn't catch the reference... https://youtu.be/sRMMwpDTs5k https://youtu.be/sRMMwpDTs5k Kitboga is a well-known streamer whose entire schtick is wasting scammers' time. He uses a voice changer and has a very thorough setup of fake websites including Google, the Google Play store, a bank, and more, as well as fake screen sharing tricks that show him exactly what a scammer is trying to do when they use a remote-access tool to access his system. When they use their RAT to black out his screen so they can hide DOM manipulation in the browser or something, he can actually watch them do it. In the video above, at about 53:00 in, Kitboga "redeems" the fake Google Play Store card that he "bought" rather than letting the scammer copy the numbers. One thing he's shown many times is how persistent scammers can be. One time he hit the password reset on his fake bank and made the scammer help him solve a password game. https://youtu.be/wkLPk2tmyNI https://youtu.be/wkLPk2tmyNI
- ramon156 2y agoDo not redeem the card!!
- NotACop182 2y agoBet there is a line you sign to get it that will prevent you from suing in the future.
- layer8 2y agoThis shows that CrowdStrike is irredeemable.
- miohtama 2y agoMaybe their gift card list got hacked
- lenerdenator 2y agoI'd wonder if this was a hack. Seems like a decent attempt at phishing. Actually that'd be far better than if it were really Crowdstrike thinking $10 would resolve this.
- indigodaddy 2y agoI think op was being cheeky. Many people uninformed on the outage assumed the CS issue was breach/hack-related. So I believe OP cleverly circled that back around to the gift card. WP.
- ncr100 2y agoThey obviously didn't plan for this error. Just like they didn't plan for their testing infrastructure to have its infamous error.

- ToValueFunfetti 2y agoAm I correct in interpreting that they canceled a multi-use code after it was shared publicly? I think that would be quite reasonable and an insignificant offense compared to pushing code that breaks your clients' computers or offering $10 of compensation for having done so.

- watermelon0 2y agoI wouldn't trust a cybersecurity company that sends out a multi-use code, even if it's for a 3rd party. While I do understand that this might have been sent by a department far removed from IT, it's still scary that they didn't think of possible abuse.
- CyberDildonics 2y agoCrowdstrike updated the card with a null value.
- buggeryorkshire 2y agoSuperb
- amy-petrik-214 2y agoSame thing happened to me, but when I tried to redeem the gift card, the checkout computer crashed and entered a reboot loop
