After 3-4 months of non-use I received an email for both accounts saying that if I spend over $500 in each of the next three months I will receive an additional 20,000 bonus points.
So these turn out to be $600 free in my experience. I have had the same thing happen with my US Airways card from Barclays, except they offered 15k points extra.

Has anyone else got it?
nope
i called in to cancel the card and they sent me to the Loyalty Dept (apparently their name for Customer Retention dept) and got a much crappier offer:
2,500 points for $500 spend within 90 days
