Isn't "lifetime" in terms of credit card life as in a cat or dog's life? I think a credit card life is 10 or 20 years at max. But, am not certain.

I've always read that you hold them until you need them for specific redemptions at their transfer partners. And that Hyatt and United are where you'll get the most value.
