I'm finishing up with them on the phone now. He's reading the required disclosures, blah blah.
The guy had NO idea about the $3,000/90 day deal, he was only aware of the $1,000/90 day spend requirement. I confirmed multiple times - this is the annual fee card, with 40,000 bonus points, annual fee waived the first year, etc. etc. He was quite confused, and ask me where I'd seen anything other than $1,000/90 days. I calmed him down and proceeded to apply for the card.
At the end, he again confirmed strongly that it is $1,000/90 days for 40,000 points (he called them "miles" - I didn't bother to correct him).
I was approved, decent CL.
He strongly recommends that I travel to Manilla, Philippines, and that I'll love it.
So, it seems to work if you call up, at least for now.
