I think from last year the 'building up' of sponsors no longer applies (ie the 1=1 month 2=4 months). You have to get all 3 to get a year free
wasn't there just an offer for the anniversary which reduced the number of sponsors required for a year extension? it was a short term offer. The linked page on the website only mentions 3 sponsors, and only through April 2008, which is a little different isn't it?
I was at the AP office as well the week of November 9th, and extended using Kevankiki as two of my sponsor contacts, and someone else as another (written on a seperate form)
I had NO issues at all - my pass expired November 11th. Nor was I told about a new form and that all three had to be on the same form
I just read the new form, and it doesn't indicate anywhere that I can see that only one form can be used. (I waited a long time for my number to be called and read the back of the 'old' form many times) I also asked again about the extension while I was renewing my own AP on behalf of 'kathleena', and was told that she could mail her her forms if she couldn't make it in person for the extension period in summer 2008.
This may be a case of different people saying different things. In summer I actually was told that if I didn't have the actual forms, and didn't have the names on one form, I couldn't renew. That was NOT the case - I was able to renew with two names on one form, and a sticky note with the third name....
