We realize that the impact of the service challenges was significant, and to help, we would like to offer you these new, premier apps at no cost as our way of saying, “Thank you for your patience, and apologies for any inconvenience.”

Q. How will the apps be free to customers? Will there be a credit associated to their BBID? Or will there be a promo code? Or will the apps just be free to anyone until the end of the year?
