Recon is closed today so nothing I can do, though from what I remember I am kind of SOL regardless as the application has already been approved, correct?
I can't find it right now, but recently I read a post somewhere where someone (who didn't this timing rule) started the process only after they got the card, I think, and yet was still able to begin the 2-month-long conversion to Signature. So do call them when Recon "wakes up" and try, it can't hurt to try. But be aware that it's a many-step multi-month process and you can't shorten it.
