Now this is weird. I got the link above by checking my history for the day I posted that. But when I look at the T/Cs that link brings up, it doesn't say what I cut and pasted that day. Now it says " This offer is available to new cardmembers only."

Typically every app makes you a "new cardmember", only meaning you won't get the bonus when you renew, of if you got a lessor bonus 6 months ago and call to request your bonus get upgraded to the new, better offer.

It's usually only a problem when it says "First time cardmembers only", and this doesn't say that. But what happened to the phrase I copied, I have no idea. Seems unlikely that they changed to terms overnight.
