I've seen one other post on another site that they haven't been reimbursed, thankfully I got a full month out of the deal so I'm not going to lose as much as many folks :-(

I'm not going to begrudge a few extra bucks after the hundreds they've helped me save over the years. The crew working through the end to help port people out and field support calls need to be paid.
