People that purchase the iPhone 5s, and the 5c get Pages, Keynote, and Numbers for iOS for free. Also, any purchases of the new iPad models.

They are free on iOS 7 compatible devices that were activated on/after 1st September - when did you buy and activate your phone ?

It also mention :-
If your new qualifying device came with iOS 6 installed, you will be offered the apps after you update to iOS 7.

Right now my 5 is updated to 7.0.4

As King_Penguin stated:

devices that were activated on/after 1st September
You said yours was activate in February. You aren't eligible.
