emissions engineering evaluation

I got a letter from mazda they are randomly picking 2005 rx8s with over 50k. they will perform a emissions engineering evaluation at the mazda hq in irvine california.
some of the benefits they will provide are
1. unlimited use of a current model year vehicle while your vehicle is being tested.
2. conveniet pick up and delivery of your vehicle at your home or place of business.
3. a check for $150.00 presented to you upon completion of testing when we return your vehicle.
4. your vehicle will be returned washed and filled with fuel.

the test will take 7-14 business days. exhaust emission testing will be performed indoors on a chassis dynamometer under normal driving conditions.
this will not impact your warranty.

so did anyone else get this letter?
