You really believe that?
Right, 50,000 apps, 50 codes for magazines to review, so there should be 2,500,000 review articles.
Seriously, magazines, newspapers, or other seriously online publications do not mind spending $1 (or even $30) on your app.
The best you can get with the promo code are some blogs, and giving them for review on blog is no different from giving out code to friend and families, or random users and ask for positive review, or write the review yourself. The review is influenced.
The only objective review is from real paying users whom you had no communication whatsoever. If you used promo code, it is tinted.
Be real.
