I think it would be a nice gesture.

Your points are quite valid but somehow I don't quite agree with clever marketing gimmicks that target specific individuals at the expense of loyal customers.

We can keep going around with this in circles but is still doesn't change the fact that only certain people have been targeted by the promotion. Doesn't help me but good luck to any that have received this promotion.
