The account rep was nice enough to call me and explain why, which was unexpected. He said that since all four bushings had the same degradation it is considered normal wear and tear that is excluded in the fine print, versus if one bushing actually failed which would have been covered.

Well that sounds like a steaming pile of you know what, and did you know you can dispute the denial? it would be brought back up to a supervisor and reviewed again and IMO bushings are not a wear item like brakes or shocks are. there alot of different warranties out there so you should read up on the company check the BBB and see if they are handling people correctly. IMO there are contracts thrown in on cars that have way too many miles but people think that theyre covered and when something like an engine fails and its found to be sludged up that its denied by PO lack of maintenence so the claim is denied leaving the new owner a useless unwarranted car. It's buyer beware for sure! personally I trust my knowledge of cars and inspecting them personally befor buying and deciding to take the risk of failure and saving the money I would spend on a contract(they aint cheap!) to pay for any repairs may come.
