So any statement about only one "card account" (singular) thus cannot be about LL.

And another clue: this say (sic ) one offer per card account. Mathematically, that would imply two offers per two card accounts, or three offers per three card accounts, which would be the exact opposite of LL. So how it can it be LL?
Absolutely it could be interpreted as a variation of LL. “Card account”, which you interpret as being singular could very easily be interpreted by AmEx, with their usual impunity, to mean “multiple accounts of the same card”, a Biz Plat (opened and closed) 3 years ago could be interpreted by AmEx as the same “card account” as a Biz Plat today. AmEx has a unique way of writing (their rules) which is deliberately ambiguous.
