YTD Elite Qualifying Miles 66,843
YTD Elite Qualifying Segments 26
Miles with Expiration Deferred Through 02.12.2012 153,151
So I flew last time May 26th, but my miles expire next year February? Come on...
Could it be the reason that I burnt 400,000 miles on a couple of award tickets
for family coming over in July or what sets back my expiration as quoted on my statement?
I don't see how your statement conflicts with that. The expiration date resets for all your miles whenever you have any activity in your account (earn or burn). Presumably you have 153,151 miles total in your account for burning, and those will expire Feb 12 2012.
There haven't been any changes here for years to my knowledge.
