The rep was a real nice guy if that matters.
A nice rep could dig deeper to exhaust the list of offers but s/he could not pull an offer out from thin air - the offer has to be already in the system attached to your card before the rep could offer it to you. Yours is by far the most generous one posted in the past few months.
