By "about once", I mean, it may have gone away temporarily and come back (there's too many offers that did that for me to keep straight which ones they were), but basically there was a period of months during which it was available, and never before, and never yet since. (Similar, except even further back, for the 100+100 before that.)

Gosh, most of us are even wondering if 50+50 will come back (all we know about that's 50+50 right now is expired offers that for now continue to work, but eventually they stop working, so that's why we're looking to see if there's even going to be another non-expired 50+50).

2010/2011 was a very unusual period for offers, probably tied to the very unusual economy. Now that the economy seems to be slowly coming back in the US, who knows what that'll do to offers?

(BA came back with another 100k offer, but jacked the annual fee way up. C1 came back with another 100k = $1000 offer, but changed it so that only a tiny fraction of people could qualify for it, compared to their first one. I don't view these as necessarily hopeful signs for the CC offer party of 2010/2011 continuing...)
