Well, if I'd only known this was "common knowledge" I wouldn't have bothered to ask about it. lol. Anyway, to be fair, I was led astray by looking at a post from the Points Guy that specifically said these passes have their own expiration dates and are not tied to the card. But then I looked at the date of the post - 2017. Not sure how I managed to miss the change sometime during the last 5 years I wasn't interested in the annual lounge passes. lol
