I just saw these replies now.
I logged into my mother's account and it looks like miles didn't expire on April 26 as they were set to do. I flew on April 29 and on April 30, there was a transaction that posted:
FPE Extension: Head of Pool:
I posted this follow up so others are aware that the pool members miles do get extended. This is what I thought would be how it worked or otherwise you have to fly all pool members every six months or keep losing your pooled miles.
They should advertise these extensions as a benefit. Instead the terms say:
K.Individuals miles may still expire based on their last accrual and not the accrual of the entire pool.
I realize it says "may" but why not advertise be that head activity does currently seem to extend the miles.
Had I known this, I wouldnt have made my redemptions. Oh by well, I guess I still got value out of the 10k miles though not maximized value.
Also, it looks like my magazine miles redemption posted 4/26. It says 1700 deducted April 26. I actually made several.magazine redemptions but they only processed the first. I'll actual be happy if they don't process the rest.
5k miles remain as I redeemed 10k for a flight and 1700 for magazine posted.
Edit: the head of pool extension must have been implemented after January as she didn't get that transaction posted for my two January flights.
