That's not right.... I have a featured store (so not anchored) and I've been using the promotions manage for over a month. o_O

Are you sure you haven't been whisked away to another site where the rules are different? It's happening more and more to me lately and half the time I don't even notice until I see something not quite right (like the weirdo icons they have in the US  ). 

I got that email too, and have been meaning to set one up, so will go take a look and see how I go - I'll report back soon.
