CenturyLink is doing this to their customers too -- Their contract says "If we raise the price, you can cancel the service with no penalties"

Doesn't that fucking negate the WHOLE purpose of a price guarantee?

The purpose of the price guarantee is to guarantee having that service at that price. The guarantee is guarantee of service too.

It negates the point of a contract. What kind of contract even has a term of length without a set price?

The kind designed to get people to sign up. They can worry about making more money off them later by deciding not to honor it.
