Sort of like cxfan1960's case, but minus the CX Amex card portion.
Save yourself that $50 USD.
Also AFAIK CX tracks a specific 12-month cycle for AM members to determine if free SL is given out. Essentially, AM members also have invisible membership years. It will be hard for OP to know what his internal membership year is. (I drew this inference from my mother's case when he joined MPO.)
