The Company reserves the right to cancel the Award Miles after a period of 20 months with no extending activity registered on the Member’s account. It is up to the Member to check the expiry date of his Miles.

No, because when the entire balance was deleted, there were Award Miles which were valid less then 20 months.
And yes, I know of a few cases in which the biggest portion (20 months old or older) was deleted, but all award miles from later date remained.
