First rep wouldn't budge at all saying it was for people with AUs
Second rep said I should be OK as the promo started Nov 19 and ends Dec 31
Third rep thinks in her opinion I should get the bonus as the postcards were mailed out on November 18 (at least the timing is right!) and that I applied for an AU in that timeframe, even if just by luck.

I had the AU charge something and the charge posted before the statement closed on Dec 11, so just waiting for the bonus points to post. I hope. At the very least I have the actual postcard so I have better backup to say I'm 100% targeted/eligible for the bonus.
