Sorry, but those who didn't qualify on the excuse of not having enough time to pay the 3 months payment, are just whining.

I signed up a 2nd account just because of the legacy program. My 2nd account wouldn't have qualified if I did the month-by-month payment for 3 months. SE also offered a pay 3 months at once option, as soon as I paid via that option, my 2nd account was qualified the next day. Therefore, even if you can only start your first payment during the last week of the offer, you would have qualified by paying the 3-mo instead of the month by month option.
