I picked this up last week and enabled $10 in Honey Gold. Make sure you take screen captures because Verizon didn't report the sale to Honey so I had to submit a claim.

I like old remote better, the click wheel with the tapping in the center is funky as hell. I can't never get to rewind 10 secs properly especially multiple 10 secs. I thought rewinding on the old one was bad this one is even worse. For some reason it has very useless mute button I don't know why, it's a streaming device people would pause not mute it.
It has Siri button on the size now, it's gets triggered when picking up the remote, happens to me 40% of time.
That said I really like the feel of the new remote, it's weight, and full aluminum body, lot better than the old one.

Is it possible to share a screenshot? I had the same issue, or showed me $10 when I placed my order now when I looked in Honey account I see 199 pending points awaiting.

I have owned all Apple TV's and their remotes. This is the best remote they have had yet.
You can turn off the "touch" feature and just use the click wheel, which gives the FFW and RW a much better feel. You can turn the Apple TV and TV off w/ one button. The mute feature is also nice.

I am going to buy a third one right now.
I completely agree! The old remote is possibly one of the worse devices Apple ever designed. This remote is significantly better. I like that you can now power off the TV with the remote. Also, rewind and forward are much easier with this remote. Well worth the money in my opinion.

But the best part of Apple TV is the touch feature.

You gonna get moderated for mentioning that competitor.
Yes, generally speaking you have to contact them to get bonuses. Don't make it easy. They are good about crediting you though.

You can just go back to the product page. You'll likely see the bonus pop up again.

You are the first person that's said they like the old remote better. I personally didn't mind the old remote, but the new one is definitely better.

It's not THAT good. I wouldn't buy it separate from a new ATV.
The old remote was a mess - you never knew which way was up in the dark!
I do like the one button to turn on TV and ATV.
The mute button is a waste of time.
They should allow you to reprogram - I'd use as a Netflix button, we use that service the most.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Most ppl pretty much hate the old remote.
