    It gets better:

    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the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

      chefs-kiss just a perfect encapsulation of tech under capital, "sorry we caused Hell on earth for a day, here's a defunct gift card".

    Reminds me of when I signed up for that class action lawsuit against one of the credit monitoring companies. I was supposed to get a couple hundred dollars or something but ended up getting a year of free credit monitoring.

      Shit like this pisses me off so much. A company has awful security and all your personal data leaks? Fuck all happens. A fucking game clip is leaked? Oh we gotta stop this from happening, arrest the boy!

      Companies should have to pay through the nose for this shit.
