just thought i'd throw this out there in case it's of use to anyone.
i had an amex spg card perhaps six or seven years ago, maybe more. i wanted to find out if i was eligible for the bonus so i called amex and i told them that i wasn't sure if i had the card before. the agent said that there was no record of me having the card and that i was eligible for the bonus.
i applied, got the card, and now a statement has come and i got the 60k points.
so this goes to show that "lifetime" is up for interpretation.
I will keep the card but not really use since i can get a huge value out of the annual one night for CAD120 .

Was approved on Saturday and am still waiting for the card in Toronto (Wednesday evening). Unfortunately it looks like they may be sending these Canada Post instead of Fedex and with Monday being a government holiday it will take a bit longer.

same timeline and locale as you except I got my card yesterday. I’d be surprised if you don’t get it this week.

Mine posted a month after at the last day of the month when they post your points from spend. If you are using the Bonvoy APP it is on the same page that shows your status/number/nights this year. Just scroll down to see if you have any certs posted.
