No lifetime language. There are a few loopholes with Amex rn that people are pushing very aggressively. It is not clear if these NLL applications are intentional as some "Expand your membership" offers are targeted to people that own the card and therefore don't traditionally qualify for the SUB. That type of behavior is definitely not looked upon Amex favorably. At the very lightest, abusing this could lock you in pop-up jail.
There is currently a Marriott Bonvoy CC loophole for the Brilliant that is similar to some of the MR loopholes too.
What are 'open loop' and 'closed loop' in terms of gcs?
Mind DMing w/info on the loophole? - yep, specific to Brilliant.
