My monitor should be on it's way right now, major vouch for Vanfuzy here.
That being said, here is a run down of some things to keep in mind:

When you call support make sure they know you got this as a gift, otherwise they will want a purchase number. Also keep in mind that they will register your phone number in their system so if you don't have multiple phone numbers, don't be reckless. If you cant find a good picture of the monitor you want that is dying or discolored, you can try to say that it refuses to turn on and use a picture of the monitor turned off as an alternative. This is going to take much longer so it is not ideal. Support will have you email a picture of the monitor and after they receive it they will give yo a 10 digit case number. You should get an email from them asking to call and give them your shipping address the next business day, call them again and using that case number you will give them your address. The first call should take ~20 minutes, and the second phone call will be less than 5 minutes.

This is a very easy SE if you have a good picture. I can't imagine Lenovo will have this loophole for too long so if you are interested, now is the time to go for it. Major shout out to Vanfuzy for sharing this with the forums and the help over discord!

I agree with this. They are much more cautious now, compared to what you guys have mentioned, and have asked for extra information with email. I'l try again but seems like the low hanging fruit is gone.

Thanks for the help, and shout out to Vanfuzy for sharing.
