I purchased Sunday night in the US and was aware at the time of the pop up bundle from this forum but went with the mystery gift as both were represented as a $99 value and so the only risk was in what item(s) I would get and not in the value of the items. That's what oneplus's website told me.
Later when I found out about the water bottle and that oneplus had reneged I called and was also was offered the $20 coupon and actually felt a little insulted by that plus it means to use I would need to spend more money with oneplus. Everyone makes mistakes but then you try and make it right and so boo to oneplus not only for doing this and not making it right but then burying their head in the sand and pretending like they didn't mess up and that this issue doesn't exist. The kicker is if a mystery gift and pop up bundle never existed there would have been no issue.
And on top of that now I can't find a case that will arrive within a week and as I don't want to damage the phone it will sit in the box till I buy a case. And with that now this pop up guy is adding insult to injury lol:
