That's on the AmEx side. How's about the CBP?

If you buy a Walmart gift card today with your Amex, and then cancel the credit card tomorrow, the GC will still be valid.

Same with this.

(not a great example, but you get the the point)

OK. The question was more: 'Will it raise eyebrows?'.

Huh?
All they see is that you have an appointment, and that you already paid for the membership.
They can't tell how you paid for it AFAIK.

How would that work? Would we (the parents) have to also do nexus?
