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.

#1==============

Status miles (EQM)

* 2,833Flight with United® and United Express®
* 0Flight with airline partners
* 0Bonus for promotions and booking codes

3.0Status segments (EQS)

* 3.0Flight with United and United Express
* 0.0Flight with airline partners
* 0.0Bonus for promotions and booking codes

* Miles and segments expire Jan 01, 2011

============================

^^^ 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.
Elite Miles & Segments (EQM & EQS) reset on January 1st, every year.

Redeemable Miles (RDM) only reset if inactive more 18 months.
