new.flyertalk.com?

I got an e-mail from "FlyerTalk Forums [[email protected]]" telling me my ad-free subscription is lapsing (which is incorrect, but that's beside the point of this question) and providing the following link:

http://new.flyertalk.com/forum/claim_subscription.php

When I tried the link, the page wouldn't load until I entered my username and password. However, it refuses to recognize my password.

I noticed that the link is a bit weird; instead of "www" it says "new". Is this legit, or a spear phishing expedition? (And if phishing, who'd go to all this trouble just to get my FlyerTalk handle and password?)
