SQ miles expiration question
I understand that SQ miles expire after 3 years...
Let's say if I earn 10 miles on 5/30/2015, and earn another 20 miles on 6/1/2017. How many miles will I have on 6/1/2018? is it 20 or 30 miles?
My question is: will earning SQ miles extended the life of previously earned miles...?

To answer your final question: NO. With many airline and hotel programs, various forms of activity extend the life of miles. However, with SQ/KF miles, they expire if unused regardless of how many SQ flights one have taken in the meantime, etc.

So it'll be 20 miles in that made-up scenario..?

According to the email from SQ, I am not quite getting 36months before expiration, the date provided is 4months less.
Out of curiosity is it first in first out accorded by date for useage? I always have about 500miles left in limbo after each redemption and this year is the first round of my expiration experience.
