I had a second phone with an existing dormant Lyft account that I have used in the past, and I involuntarily received a promotion on that phone, in addition to my active phone. Both phones were configured with the same payment method by the way, same name, same card. How is this stealing?

With Sprig, I invited my second dev phone as an experiment, but I have never used the remaining credit- I simply have very little use for their service. And I can prove that. How is that stealing? I think you should be careful laying anonymous accusations.

I wasn't dismissing your point of view, but I still think they could have easily made due diligence and verified if the account already had used a coupon.

I don't understand how breaking a private organisation's terms of service makes you a criminal. As a taxpayer I don't give a shit what any business's TOS are, and I don't think a penny of my money should be spent enforcing them. Enforce them technically or stfu; it's not my problem and none of my concern. Someone gets too many free vouchers from some retarded dot-bubble startup's shitty software and suddenly I'm forking out for the cops and judges to get involved? I don't fucking think so! Get me on a jury for one of those cases please!

Is it "stealing" if I'm walking by the store and an employee comes out to the sidewalk and offers me free samples, even though they did the same thing yesterday?

Some of you guys have a promising career waiting for you at the RIAA.

I agree and that's why I've turned down the freebies the Lyft people are always handing out -- they claim it's for new users and I want to respect that. But then again, I also assumed they'd make a token effort to reject people that already have a registered number with them.
