My question: how fast are the miles actually pulled, and what kind slack will they cut you if you take a qualifying flight sometime after the formal expiry? Taking a flight now in Sep looks tight, how quick need I be before it's completely niet mogelijk to reinstate expired miles?

Any experiences out there?
It would be a real struggle to get your miles reinstated at all. Taking a single flight AFTER expiry would not help much I think.
