Great story. But don't be surprised Fairmont will drop this 'lifetime' deal eventually. AA did that with the Unlimited Miles First Class group - http://article

  That's a little different, though, as "unlimited flights in first class" is something that has lots of opportunities for abuse and it was only a matter of time before they 86'd it. It's harder to abuse something that has defined benefits, like 10 upgrades a year. Meanwhile, for years, AA has offered lifetime Gold and Platinum frequent flyer status for those who have accumulated one and two million miles, respectively. It used to be an unpublished thing, but as of recently AA started prominently displaying it as a benefit you can attain.
