The splash page for new cards says it's available for new card accounts. Were you an already established customer?

I just heard an advertisement for it on the radio like 30 minutes ago. Weird.

Some existing customers got in initially then they closed that loop hole once they figured out they were going to take a beating is my guess.  So only new applicants now.

I am reading conflicting reports on this. some older boards are saying that it was supposed to go through July but now June seems to be the cutoff Then I read a more current article that states that this promo is for new cardholders only. I am a little confused. I am assuming that this took off faster than they expected, therefore they need to gain some sort of control and close the flood gates.
