For those of us who got the card when it first came out and already maxed out the year 2 travel credit, maybe the system will reset on the card anniversary date so we can get started on out 3rd credit early. Can't hurt to be optimistic 😀

Hmm

Basically it's affecting the new applicants who would apply for the card and would not be able to double dip.
 So if your planning to open the card and get the $300 Credit and 50k best would probably be before the 21st as that way you can get another in 2018 (jan).
 What's the best way one would apply for this card and beat the 21st of may deadline? (online,phn,in branch?)

I wonder if this would apply to someone looking to upgrade from SP to SR

Are you sure it's not for existing card holders ?

Existing cardholders are guaranteed 2 credits, but not entirely clear for the 3rd credit.

ie: if you applied in Oct'16. you wouldve gotten $300 in Oct'16, Jan'17. But when does the next credit kick-in will be of question: Oct'17? or Jan'18?
