Just sent my car in for the third scheduled oil change, including the 1,200 mile service, and they said I was also due for rear diff fluid change and new spark plugs.

Is this about the same service interval everyone else is experiencing?

Spark plug and diff fluid change is recommended every 30k. Seeing as your next scheduled service would be past that interval they opted to do it a little early. No worries.

Most people change oil every 7500 miles, or more often.
