Unfortunately, I did not receive my commendation pack either. Though it seems I am not alone at all in this regard. Anyway, much appreciated the post by Jarrett Lee mentioning that EA/Bioware will be making sure people get taken care of. Although the ordeal makes me decidedly sadface, it really is their first event type venture to promote the multiplayer aspect of ME3 so as long it gets taken care of in the end, I'm sure we can all cut some slack and be understanding.

See the OP. we'll get you fixed tomorrow (don't wait all night!). Also, I'm not sure why the Data option requirement wasn't on the blog post (it was in the big forum post). If you didn't have it on and were not aware, we should still be able to help you (tomorrow).
It's good to see that they will work to assist those who weren't aware of the data option requirement. To be fair, it wasn't listed everywhere and for those who simply read the blog or perhaps just logged in-game to be notified that an event/challenge was underway but never knew they had to have the data option turned on until being forced to come to the forums because they didn't receive their package is not fair to them.
But these are all things that can be fixed for people right now and better prepared for next time. A simple addition at the bottom of the notification ingame when you log into multiplayer as well as in the options menu of the game for the data option that reads, "You must have this on to receive any rewards from events..." will probably have people ready and waiting when the time comes.
In the end, it was a fun event and awesome to see things like this taking place to keep things lively. As with all things for the first time, it happens. I'm sure it'll be much smoother next time.
On that note, I eagerly await getting my N7 weapon that I probably won't use very often but secretly want to, tomorrow.
