No, because I had to pay for it out of pocket by getting docked $100 on my return.
So the "free" status of the gift card was temporarily taken away by charging me for it, then reinstated when they refunded me the $100.
Ah, got it now! The fact that at the 2nd machine's list price was $100 less than the first one was throwing me off.
Good catch. I wonder how many people don't question this?
