You should learn the difference between a free item and a promotional item
Nope. If i spend ~100 euro i am getting companions, worth another ~100 euro (for free). Promotions are not necessarily tied to spending money, see the 20000 other promo codes in the matching thread for details. I do get my 10k zen (which i've bought, true.) plus the freebies. In this case for free means for free, since i am not spending 200 euro, but 100. Of course, some people would like to be given the companions without spending actual money, but this is a rather unrealistic way to approach cryptic's kindness, tbh.
Non of this companions are worth my time to be honest...

I strongly believe that event-specific companions should be unique - but there's no reason they couldn't offer nearly identical reskins at a later date - like the skeletal dog is unique to the Valindra Invasion, but a charred skeletal dog is available later, (same companion, but with a blackened/burnt look)...

Two more companions I can acquire but can't bind because of the 96-slot limit.
Yep, and it cuts into their sales to collectors. Plus its a super-easy fix.
(Not that that's counted for anything so far.)
Looks like the new Galeb Duhr is exactly the same stats with a re-skin. So it's
for people who want to run with two, or collectors who like special effects.
To agree with others, they could just tweak things like that to keep things like the
original Skeletal Dog and Shadow Wolf more valuable to collectors... and give the
OCD ones another item to collect. (I would've gotten the Zen Shadow Wolf if they'd just
changed the eye color. Otherwise it's just another of many of them. Distinction and
rarity sell.)
Did you really think anyone could steal the power of the god of thieves?
Does anyone know whether this has to be in a single transaction or do multiple transactions count towards a total?
It's always been as many transactions as it takes - as long as the first through the last transaction the final amount of Zen meets the requirements by the time the promotion closes, only transactions between the promotion dates and times count. So, for example: if you were going for the full 10,000 Zen promotion you could buy/transfer into Neverwinter 100 Zen per transaction, a thousand times - as long as you had started after promotion begins and finished transferring a total of 10,000 Zen by the time the promo closes - then you get the promotion freebies.
TL;DR: it doesn't matter how many times you transfer/buy the Zen, only that you've transferred the requisite amount for the promo tier that it qualifies for.
NOTE: ASTRAL DIAMONDS CONVERTED INTO ZEN DOES NOT QUALIFY. It never has.
If you have luck qualifying for any of the surveys then obtaining your 1 zen. only thousands more to go!
Astonishingly, I was able to earn around 300 Zen for answering questions about toothbrushes yesterday. Blew my mind. They work better for Americans, sorta ok for Canadians (my experience), and I don't think there's usually much available for the rest of the world.

As European I usually have zero available, so that sounds about right to me.
Around launch time it was better though, but I guess all EU advertisers withdrew from the program over time.

I must not be one of the "right" Americans they're looking for. I am never eligible sadly.

I like it and i am happy.
They are in this particular case.

Zen from survey offers also works. Zen bought in the exchange doesn't because it was already transferred into Neverwinter by somebody else.
