Even if there were no calendar issues, this one seems of dubious value. You can get 10k additional miles with $10k spend (no, not a 10k bonus, but normal spend). On $25k you'll get 25k miles normal spend, and then only 10k extra miles bonus. That's a pretty small increment (35k instead of 25k).
This seems like a feature only worth it to those who "naturally" get fairly near $25k spend, and are thinking about "topping it off" to reach that. It doesn't seem worth it starting from scratch.
