I interpret that to mean you can book future flights with points the last day they're valid, but if you subsequently cancel those flights your expired points are null and void.
Correct. The tickets just needs to be booked and issued in February. Travel can be in the next 330 days or so. But if you want to rebook or cancel after Feb, the points are lost.
