They indicated that they won't chip in for any exam over 85.

As I said, if you are in to rigid cost-containment, this kind of thing is mandatory. I'm just surprised this doesn't strike you as age discrimination, as that is exactly what it is.
Hadn't thought to check their site, thanks for the info!
