Their "get a giftcard after purchase!" thing is total bullshit, too. They take like a month to email it to you, and then give you like 2 weeks to redeem it.
The only upshot is they have stores around the country you can take stuff to instead of paying $$$ to ship it back to them lol.
Regarding the amp in the OP, I'm guessing there's an MkIII coming soon. It looks to me like this is a clearance type of price. Good enough price though if you like the Katana.
I do recommend you call them for issues and not just email though.

Overall, though, the GTX suffered from annoying BT disconnects and so-so quality through headphones (which would be a plus if it sounded good).
The biggest issue with it and the Katana both is simply that they don't sound *great*. (I bought and sold a MkII Katana 50 twice.) There are some decent amp models on both, but neither had myself that sounded accurate to the amp they were supposed to be modeling. (The GTX Princeton reverb, for example, was one of my favorites on the amp, but it sounded nothing like an actual Princeton Reverb when placed side by side.) Neither got nearly as loud as the power ratings suggested. My GTX100 (100 watts) was loud when dialed all the way up but was easily beaten by my EVH 5150 Iconic 40W **on its 10W setting.**
I think you have to get to the Axe FX level to get decent modeling, or use a computer solution like Amplitude. In a standalone amp, I still prefer classic tube/valve (all tube or hybrid) and analog solid state amps. The Monoprice Stage Right 15W tube amp (full price: $280 or so and worth it; recently on sale for $200, a price not seen in a while) sounds *really* good, both clean and overdriven, and has an effects loop. It makes me smile in a way the Katana and GTX amps never did. Resale on the modelers is poor. Lots of used listings (which is an indicator in its own right) with depressed prices. I sold my GTX100 in mint condition for about half of a new one, and it took ages to find a buyer.
I write this to help newcomers in figuring out what amp to get, not to throw shade on Katana or other modelers. The Katana has plenty of fans, especially because it's lightweight and versatile. In a mix, I think they sound fine. The models are fun The Katana's . 25W mode is a plus, since you can get full "overdrive" sounds at any volume because there's no tube to "drive" in the first place. But I don't think they're magic, and it's worth trying alternatives before settling on such an important part of an electric guitar.

I bought a Peavey 6505+ 1x12 as my first guitar amp. Although the high gain in it is nearly unrivaled, it really doesn't do clean very well, and it cost $400 and required a 6 hour drive to get that.
