Disclaimer: IANAL
Contracts in perpetuity don't hold up, especially since this isn't even a contract. They always expire at some point, unless renewed.
A claim of false advertising could hold up, but again that's a promise not held in a contract.
Finally, it looks like that marketing campaign was over 7 years ago. No court would ever hold them to business plans from that long ago. They have to provide adequate notice for any changes (often 30 days), but they can certainly discontinue a program.
