Eh, I think that Twitter post is OK and I would leave it alone. I would have more of a concern if it appears that the Wikimedia brand was being used to endorse or advertise a product (as WMF apparently accidentally did with Qualtrics). It seems to me that communicating to Wikimedians on a public platform that discounts are being offered in celebration of Wikipedia is just fine, so long as the communication stays clear of the appearance of endorsement. I think that post is ok as it is.
