Question on Expiry Points

[jupiter]

Hi,

Need some guidence from you guys..

I have 5000+ miles expirying in Aug 12.
1. Does that mean I must fly on a redemned ticket by Aug 12? or
2. Does it mean I have to make a redemption for a ticket by Aug 12 and not necessary making the flight by Aug 12?
- e.g. I can make a redemption by Aug 12 for a flight for Jun 13?
-- If so, what if in Feb 13 (which by then the 5000+ miles should be considered expired), can I make any flight date changes after that? Can I make a flight cancellation? Will I loss all the points?

Thanks in advance

You will need to redeem by Aug 12, whenever the flight might be (redemption only opens up like 330 days or 1 year from current date). I believe, you can make date changes within the validity of the ticket, but if you cancel the flight, you will lose the miles.

errrr.... what can you do with 5000 miles?

Nono.. what I meant is that 5000+ miles of my 100k+ are expiring.

Anyway, thanks for the reply

Expiry of miles #160;Your KrisFlyer miles are valid for three years, and you will be notified in your account statement before they are due to expire. As a KrisFlyer member, you may extend your miles once for six months at a nominal fee. If you are a KrisFlyer Elite Silver, KrisFlyer Elite Gold or PPS Club member, you may extend your miles for one year. Simply login to extend your KrisFlyer miles online.

KrisFlyer miles that have already expired cannot be extended.

I am just wondering how much it would cost for extension. Would it be the same rate as purchasing miles?
