I agree. Since both we and my bro and SIL got flights, that should be it, right? However, I don't understand what you said to Maggie:
IOW, even if she got a check, she would also qualify for the merchandise? Does that mean we might too?
I'm asking because my SIL agrees with that too, and insists that we should qualify for that even though we got our flights.

I mean, I love freebies but that doesn't seem right or logical ...?
