Double lifetime warranty means if you sell the card, the second owner still has a lifetime warranty on it.

XFX

EVGA

The double lifetime warranty means the warranty can be transferred to another person, if you decide to get rid of the card. Otherwise you would have to send it to the original owner so they could RMA it for you, there are not many cases where an eBay user or someone will help you.

EDIT: BFG too, yep.
