If I remember my VIP2's, while they have a date they expire, it applys to a ticketing date, not the use date(you should have 12 more months to use them. If you know of a trip in the next 12 months and can book it now, your vip2's should still be good. Read the 'fine' print. Your very lucky, I dream of having more VIP2's...
