Now it has been updated to end of April 2024.
Maybe they have temporarily closed applications to non HON/SEN for this reason? Or the bank clerk was misinformed and assumed the card was only intended for HON/SEN. Making the card available only for H?ON/SEN makse no sense, as they have many of the benefits as part of status already.
My colleague Frequent Traveller applied a week ago and got the card.
