However, the card says it's valid till Feb'08. Does that make sense? How do they expect me to requalify in less than 20 days? Technically I would have till 12/31 to requalify, right? I thought that they would comp me till Feb'09 like many FTers say.

Anyone with the same situation?
Happened to someone I know. Quick call/email and it was discovered that EXLEFTSEAT is totally right in saying, "you would get new cards after Feb reflecting an expiration date of Feb 2009. At this stage all cards expire Feb '08."
