You can only claim missing stays for 6 months, so any records older than that aren't really needed. After 6 months they can be deemed to be accurate.

I doubt frequent-stay points are subject to any federal/legal retention policies, so trying to argue it's an "auditable account", as if there's some Sarbox/HIPPA/etc requirement to go back to program inception isn't going to go very far.

Our company policy is to delete/destroy any records older than 2 years that don't have a retention requirement. Less discovery exposure, etc.
