My complaint is that Citi's reimbursement policies should be aligned with with the CBP Global Entry renewal eligibility rule.

How do I renew my Global Entry membership?

You become eligible to renew your membership one year before the program expiration.

Sorry, this is false equivalency. A lounge membership renewal does not involve a potentially lengthy approval process. Some FlyerTalkers have reported waits of up to 180 days to receive conditional approval of their renewal applications. Many FlyerTalk members and most travel writers recommend applying to renew GE memberships as early as allowed.
