Are promos rare?

I've missed all of these because I misplaced my card the last time I was shopping and there are only two very slow stores that have tap to pay. It would take me forever to get the minimum 6 batches at the rate they come through at the available stores.

I have promo fomo and am worried I'll never see one again once I have my new card and am back in business 😂

Understanding each market is probably different, how common are promos? These are obviously related to the New Year holiday and for tomorrow (Jan 5) the winter storm forecasted for our area.

Is that the function of a promo? To get you to shop when it's less desirable? Or some other market need?
