Hmmm, so if I read this correctly, even lifetime members will need to maintain some level of activity depending upon level obtained (other than just staying alive). I always chuckle when I read "lifetime". It prompts the question, who's lifetime, mine, their's, or the commodity being exchanged (aka someone's whim)?

Personally, I don't see this to be an issue for me since I currently intend on keeping the AMEX SPG card and there will always be some activity each and every month. But it's always fun to speculate how things might be interpreted years down the road. After all, even at&t has determined unlimited data now needs a cap.
