As a highly original New Year's present, Skype is sending vouchers to some of the clients who had paid for premium services (had balance) and been affected by the failure in December.Funny part is that some of the vouchers are empty - they contain no code to redeem.
I personally have received a voucher with the code and successfully redeemed the value of $1.
I am sure they should pay more than $1 to the folks who received the joke.
Stay tuned!
Happy New Year and let your presents be real.

UPDATE: Skype is resending the letters, this time with the $1 code.
