Yeah looks like they edited fine print on both offers. I don't think it would have mattered whether you status matched or used FC since you have to earn tier while gambling. They did change it to where you can earn better tier from hotel/food stays though.
"Benefit only valid for earned Tier Status (Diamond members earning at least 15,000 Tier Credits previous or current year and Seven Stars members earning at least 150,000 Tier Credits previous or current year); members with gifted or matched Tier Status do not qualify until the earn the necessary Tier Credit criteria."
