Obviously there could be multiple interpretations of this phrase, but this appears to be the one they're going with.
Doesn't matter what card you have - we didn't even get to the point of asking which card I had, and which ones I have now. The answer was the same regardless.
Geez, this is unfortunate. I have the Platinum card now that I wanted to use to make a few electronic purchases, but I don't think I'll keep the card more than a year.
Any other data points on this?
