I confirmed the 50K + 50K promo when I called to activate the card. When asked, the CSR said the 90-day period for the second 50K miles starts from the day I was approved.
So now we have three answers for when the clock starts for the three-month period -- upon application, upon approval and upon activation. That's pretty funny, actually.
