(7) What is most important to you in a FFP? (upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, extra baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, free - discounted lounge access, etc.)
Reply: No expiry of mileage earned, good award redemption rates, better award access
No expiry of mileage earned does not really happen now. Most (all OW?) require an eligible activity to maintain an account within a certain time.
Expiring miles used to happen at 3 years in many FFP, buy many now have an 18 month no activity rule.

These may not be up to date (look at Validity of Points)
