I have one of them, but no mention of weight. Definitely under weight/size on both of them and zero discussion of luggage size, just the extra baggage fee talk.
Reading their current rules, additional/overweight luggage would be $100 on flights to/from US and $225 internationally, so even by that definition I seem to have been screwed.

Just fired off a friendly email to them, will keep you posted.
