Here's their letter:

Deal Seekers:

As of Monday, December 8, the FREE Student Advantage Card through the Amtrak
In-station program has been rectified. Additionally, any new Amtrak/Student
Advantage Cardholders enrolled in the last 72 hours has been held and will
not be issued until adequately verified with ticket stubs and proof of
purchase.

We at Student Advantage appreciate the struggles of being a poor college
student. Hence the reason we offer such a savings program. For that
reason, we are offering our Card to the members of FatWallet.com and their
friends a limited time offer. Get your Student Advantage card for 25% off
the regular price or $15.00 for a one-year plus $2.50 shipping and handling
by clicking on:

This is a limited time offer and must be redeemed by Thursday, December 18.
After which, this offer will be turned off.

To answer Simple's post: <promotions because of this.>> You keep us in business by buying our Cards,
and we will keep making new deals for you all. We're signing new partners
all the time for you. Also, shameless promotion, check out our Holiday
Store for savings on holiday gifts with our
partners and Student Advantage.

For those new Cardholders in the Boston area, a special deal to boot! Stop
by our offices at 280 Summer Street and we will give you a free sa.com cup
and extra coupon book. Just show your Card to the Front Desk receptionist,
Monday - Friday, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM.

Best of luck on your finals and keep on deal seeking!
