But why would it they have to make a retroactive change? If one HAS the coupon prior to the change date, then it was obviously ordered it prior to the change - which means (from everything posted on here) that it would be accepted under the old terms.
If one DOESN'T have it, then the cert will come with the new category changes. You can't get a cert that will say "any" because the hopper awards will have disappeared.
