Frequently asked questions

Do all airline miles and hotel points expire?
No. Some programmes, including Delta SkyMiles and United MileagePlus, never expire miles from inactivity. Others expire after a set period, either resetting on any activity or expiring per-tranche a fixed number of months after each mile was earned. The table above shows the exact policy for every verified programme.
What counts as activity that resets the expiry clock?
For most activity-reset programmes, any earn or redemption counts: a flight, a hotel stay, a shopping-portal purchase, a small bank-point transfer, or even a dining-programme meal. The cheapest documented action for each programme is listed in the table above.
What does "expires per tranche" mean?
Some programmes, such as Emirates Skywards and Singapore KrisFlyer, expire each batch of miles a fixed number of months after it was earned, rather than expiring the whole account on inactivity. Tracking this precisely needs your full transaction history.
Where does this data come from?
Each row links to a named source: the programme's own terms and conditions page, or a reputable independent publication when that is the clearest available corroboration. Every row shows the date it was last verified.
Can I get alerts before my points expire?
Yes. A free account gets a 30-day reminder before anything expires. Pro adds earlier warnings at 90 and 7 days.
