It's not "for life."

It is complementary for the next year, and perhaps the year after that, and so on for as many years as DL Management finds it to DL's advantage to give it you.

It could end at any time.

Awarding of real "lifetime" status ended in about 2003.

Those who qualified before then retain their "lifetime" status.

Those who qualified after then get year-to-year complementary status.
