The ad and the linked terms don’t say anything about the deal being available only for new customers and accounts. It’s the lack of transparency that really gets me.

It has gotten a bit weirder in the age of “everything is a subscription”. For example, I was just looking at one for a development browser I use. I’m paying $12/month. They have a deal now where it’s $84/year for new customers, for the lifetime of their subscription. Not a one time discount.
I didn’t go off complaining, but I definitely feel a little frustrated that my reward for being an existing customer is to get to keep paying full price.
