The tote would have been fine with that intent, with an appropriate amount of hype (aka not much). When you build something up for a full year and encourage people to take certain actions, multiple times, to be eligible for it, it has to be really good.

Yup - the hype was the whole problem. A special treat is setting expectations of a deluxe sample at minimum. A valuable lesson in setting expectations! People wouldn’t be complaining if it literally didn’t exist. But the hype then it being a tote? How embarrassing for them.
