League of Legends Refer-A-Friend (RAF) ending sooner than anticipated (August 20th)?

I was just checking out my inbox and found an email sent 2 days ago (August 11) from Riot outlining the retiring of RAF.

However, unlike the public post made recently (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/features/refer-friend-retires-thirty-days) this email states that the RAF ends on August 20th!

Has anyone else received this? Is this just an older email that was sent out? Please let me know if you have information.

Support confirmed with me that 9/5 is the actual date of ending the program, but referrals aren't working for me for some reason... I shared a link with my GF and she signed up... she was never prompted for the referring summoner. After she hit level 10, I looked at my RAF page and she was on the Pending Invitation side... I emailed RIOT and they claimed there is nothing they can do. It happened to a second friend and he got a webpage error on the signup page when he tried to do the CAPTCHA requirements... So at least two of my referrals haven't been recorded even though they are using my signup link, presumably because the signup page is crapping out with all the java problems people are having these days... it sucks and my friends were trying to help me and had their first 'RITO pls' experience before playing their first game. At least one of my referrals isn't going to play because of this, but alas, there's nothing RIOT can do, according to support.
