People are complaining because;
a) TECHNICALLY, this does class as Real World Trading, which Jagex are 'apparently' 100% against, although you only need to look at the Wheel to contradict this ~
b) People who like to collect items aren't able to for whatever reasons, (No-where near the included shops [Like myself], unable to afford the immediate cost, or because they don't want to spend more money than they already are doing for membership. {I'm aware buying a card pauses your current recurring membership, you aren't paying for 6 months and getting 3} by this I simply mean it's cheaper to get 3 months recurring than it is to get a 3 months membership card.
c) People aren't getting the item despite following the instructions for whatever reason. (Although I can't verify this)
It may not be an actual event item, but doing promotions like this without offering an alternative can and will annoy people (Quite rightfully to be fair) as this isn't really a loyalty reward, it's more of a kick-to-the-groin for long-term players who don't have a parents wallet they can dip into.
