K... I'm confused, if miles only expire after 1.5 years of inactivity then why do I see an expiration date of April 30th 2012? We're talking about MilesPlus within United, which is all I have otherwise I would be posting in a different forum.
So long as I fly at least once a year, my miles will never expire, that seems reasonable. I am looking at my MP profile, it says "LIfetime Flight Miles" those don't expire "Award Miles" and it shows that it does expire.

^^^ I just saw that just now, but this is what I am referring to:
#2===============================
Award miles
Miles expire Apr. 30, 2012
=============================
So which expiration am I going by? I don't trust a UA rep to tell me, I've been down that road before with large companies in general.
