We applied for the same deal earlier this year and at first they only gave us 25,000. We called up customer service and they told us the promotions change frequently and when they went to apply our miles the promotion was for 25,000 so that was why we didn't get the full amount. However, after a brief discussion they quickly gave us the other 25,000. We love the card and are trying to get the companion pass out of it for future trips. Just make sure you sign up when they are offering the 50,000 and that you actually get the full amount.
