Sorry guys, but I don't like it.
It seems to me that you're giving away random things in order to sell, without thinking about the average/little player trying to make them feel part of the community without having to join pools or anything like that.
The 4000 DEC offer to get a pack and a promo card in 1:1 ratio doesn't look like a promo offer, because with that rate the promo card would be probably common and worth something like 0.10$. In addition you're making a promo to sell stuff that we already have.
I would like to see actions to give more value to the community and this one doesn't.

If the promo card ends up being worth $0.10 that is $0.10 in extra value for a pack purchased or put another way 2.5% extra value (using your $0.10 evaluation and $4 price point for packs). Nothing wrong with that deal at all.
Agree that the card can give additional value and I think it's even better than 2.5% supposing you're paying with DEC each pack would be 3$ or less with DEC at about this price.
But you can buy packs for 1.8$ in the secondary market now and possibly less after this Christmas sale, and even if you consider future CL airdrops I don't see any advantageous deal here (except maybe if you'll go for gold or diamond deal).
I used face value and calculated minimum extra value based on the $0.10 price point. Lets not forget each pack purchased from the official Splinterlands site will have a chance at the ongoing milestone airdrops. Packs being cheaper 1 vs. 1 on secondary markets for actively sold packs is the norm. One isn't going to go to secondary markets to pay over the amount Splinterlands sell them for. Look at it this way; two days ago if you purchased one pack you got one pack and a chance at an airdrop. If you purchase a pack during this special event sale you get one pack, a promo card and a chance at an airdrop. No matter how you dice it, purchasers are getting more for their purchase during the sale.
