Got the same info from LBB just now. Good thing - I'll use the card accordingly.
IMO this only makes sense if they plan to offer their customers an attractive new card soon. Maybe they are in talks with airlines/hotels or travel companies to find a new (mileage earning and burning) home. I would also hope for lower yearly fees and lower foreign currency fees. A better travel/car-insurance offer would be helpful too.
