Related: When Do My Miles Or Points Expire?
——————————————————-
Redeeming miles is safer than the various methods of earning miles as point earnings don’t always post and it can turn into a fight in case your account expires. But as with everything else in life when you’re paying for something you can be sure that it will always post without any fighting required šŸ˜€

There are actually get some pretty sweet deals, like The Economist for 3,200 miles. Delta miles don’t require activity, but still 3,200 Delta “Skypesos” for a year of The Economist isn’t bad at all!

Or you can just get a cheap magazine for 300-400 miles to keep your account active.

What about BA miles? Do they expire? Is there anycway to save them?

Dan

@Gabi:
36 months.

BA only charges $2.50 to cancel a domestic leg online after 24 hours.
Can always just do that to get another 36 months…
