...then go read this. (Note that it doesn't apply to permanent accounts.)
I'm not sure why they're showing more love for people who sign up now than for people who already showed faith and signed up, though. People who already signed up can extend to get more time reimbursement, but, um, what if they just bought a year or two? Come on! Of course, I have a permie account anyway, but...it just seems backwards/kind of unfair to make the bonus for new signups so much larger than the compensation for people who had paid before the mess...there's probably a business sense in it somewhere, it just seems unfair.

I think that decision was somewhat flawed. :P
