Low redemption rates and how to get star alliance gold easier.
Also if there is a programme that has a longer expiry date (I know Asiana is 10 years but is there one with longer?)

These links give a guide of ff miles needed. These may not be up to date.
Use at your own risk. (These are not recommendations)
  1. -AwardAce: Compare Award Redemptions Across Airlines In Seconds --> Awardsace.com Has surcharge indication.
  2. -Economical Excursionist's Tools to compare Frequent Flyer Mile Redemptions --> Flyermiler.com
  3. -AwardHacker: a tool we build to tell you how to travel with the least miles --> Awardhacker.com

With many airlines ff miles can be kept alive with eligible activity every 18/36 months or what ever.
Some airlines have a hard expiry
