So staralliance being my last alliance of choice, I'd like a program where I can park my miles without fear of expiration. Turkish airlines seems like an obvious choice at first but i don't like their points expiration policy. Is there an alternative to miles & smiles?

International redemptions are most important to me in this case
A3. Miles don't expire for Gold members. With effective timing, 10k miles a year is enough to get Gold.
