So basically, the tentative hypothesis is that, applynow URL mailer have leeway up to 2 months post-expiration, while applytoday URL may not?
And the one most folks on this FT thread use 90% of the time is the applynow URL mailer?
On the business side, I just tried a mailer for citi.com/applyAABusinessCard that expired on 4/30 and it won't load the application.
It gives the error: "A system error has caused a delay in processing your application."
I have a later mailer with a different URL, applynowAAbusinesscard , but using the same (4/30) code comes up with the same error. Anxiously awaiting other data points, because the later mailer expires just before my 90 days is up. Might risk it if it's confirmed that 2 month grace period is dead.
