Did y'all get charged? I'm seeing an invoice for $30.18, then a credit for $100. I did not expect my card to get charged if I was one of the first 1000. I'll have to keep an eye on this.

As stated on their blog, they charge you initially and then your account is credited. The $30.18 is the prorated amount for December + January.

Yeah, I figured this out afterwards as well - and I even read through the comments and saw the post about this question. The rep didn't exactly lie but was certainly not super clear about it.
This offer should have been stated: "Purchase the first 1.5 months _then_ receive a $100 credit." IMO, they made this purposefully vague.
