Hi there,
I was reading on my elevate account about when my points expire. Here is the language on the Elevate site:
Your points will expire 18 months from the end of the month in which they are earned. Points earned prior to October 1, 2008 will expire on March 31, 2010.
So is that like United where after 18 months of no activity, they will expire? Or will the points expire at different times, depending on when I earned them? For example, I flew VX last week. Last time I flew was about a year ago. Does that mean that last year's points will expire one year before last week's points?
I hope I'm misreading this. If so, that means that any "free" trips I redeem with elevate will have to be earned within an 18 month period, right? That's sort of a bummer. I fly 100k+ miles/year with United, but I really like VX and use them as a backup / change of pace at times. But since it's not my primary carrier, I'm unlikely to earn enough points in an 18 month period for an award ticket, making elevate useless for me.
Am I misreading? Set me straight!
