Thanks @patrick.barnes for confirming it wasn't just me. Doctor of Credit also said he's seeing the regular offers and recommended applying and filing a complaint with copies of the email and page showing the higher bonuses if I don't get the bonuses.

The CSR on Twitter just messaged me again out of the blue (I had stopped responding after that last message) and seems to confirm that this should work:

"Hi there, I would like to apologize for the earlier info given. When you go to sign up for the card, you will be shown the regular point bonus for the card. However, as long as you sign up before tomorrow, upon approval, once you use the cc, the bonus points will be applied. Apologies again 4 the confusion, you are shown the regular bonus point amount on the web."

Heading over to apply for both cards now! Hope this works, would be sad to waste a couple hard inquiries (Equifax too)!

Update:
Instant approval for the higher tier card (I think...I couldn't really tell from the application what I was applying for, it mentioned both cards in the disclosures). Was applying for the other card at the same time and it went to pending. Does anyone know if Comenity allows you to sign up for both cards on the same day?
