I received the same letter and a gift card for "only" $50. I was so happy when I got it. Then I read this thread. I am filing a discrimination claim.

I got $100 a few months ago. I never complained to anybody about anything. And you can use it anywhere AMEX is accepted. I used mine the shop that did my custom exhaust.

Got nothing. Did my recall over 2 months ago.

Sounds like a conspiracy to lure people in for the re-flash and make sure that the E55's out there do not outrun the E63's which are sitting at dealers lots and being discounted to invoices.
