Retroactive promo?

So, I got the Premiere Gold back in May with 50K bump and it took a while on the phone and then I was on hold for a while. CSR wanted to know where I got the code (I said a friend with a Gold card told me about it). Then the CSR asked for details about the promo and then on hold for a long time. So, my results:
(1) Promo retroactively applied to May. Did not make 15 transactions in May, June or July.
(2) Since the promo only runs 5 months, that leaves August and Sept for me to make 15 transactions each month for 20K (10K per month)
(3) I have to call back end of September.

All in all, not too bad. Be glad to call back in Sept for 20K.

1. Apply to accounts opened after 7/1/2011 (but seems this is not a must, I've my account open before that, and the 1st CSR refused the code because of this, then I called back again, bingo!)
2. Promo period is now to 10/1/2011.
3. Max 50K points for this promo.
