I'd recheck when your BA miles expire as they expire after 3 years if there is no account activity, at least for the north american programme.

I just called EC and found out why those 5 years old miles still exist. An 2000 miles bonus from 2002 for providing an email adress was sufficient account activity to reset the 3 years timer. Of course I found this bonus offer here on FT.
