This topic is, as you will realise, about 'digital death'. Has anyone any experience of what happens to mileage? This will certainly vary by each carrier so I am keen to hear all and any responses.
Each ffp will be different. Will be the t&c's of the ffp.
Generally the flyer does not
own the ff miles, but has use of them.
