As long as I can get out of the requirement by using a credit card (with which I can manufacture fake spend, see various milesbuzz threads for more info on how to do this), I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it...I'm sure the DL forum is in full meltdown mode right now.
Plan B, just move my MP account offshore so I'm no longer a "US based member".
