I wonder if that's really true. I applied last June for a new Premier card, got approved and started using card in August (less than 12 months), but I was targeted with upgrade offer and was able to upgrade via the email recently.

Interesting...I'll have to keep that in mind when I get future terms changes and see if it's valid.

I think this is a marketing / publicity tour to raise awareness, and give away some prizes at the tour. They are giving away various prizes including round trip for 2. I would go but I'm up in the air during the times they are doing the tour at locations relevant to me. Oh well.

I wasn't even aware of the new card, and didn't even see my email invitation to upgrade until I saw the publicity blitz via facebook ads.
