But the following suggests that unless you fly 6,000 miles on SAA itself, your miles will expire even if there is other activity on the account. Is that true?
11. Expiry of Miles
11.1 All Voyager Miles earned are valid for 3 (three) years after the year in which such Miles were earned by a Member. For purposes hereof a year is calculated from 1 April to 31 March.
11.2 If a minimum of 6 000 (six thousand) Tier Miles (earned on South African Airways flights only excluding other affiliated airlines) have been flown for the period January to December preceding the date of expiry, the Miles will be carried over into the following year, thereby extending the validity for 1 (one) additional year only.
11.3 If a Member on a Lifetime Platinum status level spends a minimum of R300 000 (three hundred thousand Rand) on the SAA Voyager credit card during the period January to December preceding the date of expiry, the Miles due to expire will be carried over into the following year, thereby extending the validity for 1 (one) additional year only.
