I would be a bit surprised if they actually did it to me. I have about 500K lifetime base points and was Dia/Glob for 7 years, all leisure travel, but had to start slowing down due to some health reasons and then COVID hit. But if they just leave it to the computer then I guess none of that will matter.

Still, the award booking for Sep will keep the account active, and then I have a stay in March and another in April that are almost certain. So if I wait until Sep to cancel the Sep award after the points for the Mar and Apr stays are posted, is the computer going to go back after the fact and say that I should forfeit all my points due to no activity having posted for the period from Dec 2019 to Mar/Apr 2022?



Being in a very high-risk group I've been so hunkered down due to COVID that I've really lost any motivation to stay someplace that I'm not really interested in staying. There's more than 200K points at risk, so I guess if I really want to be sure I should buy a few points. Maybe get 3900 pts for US$72 at the current promo until the end of Oct, or otherwise 1000 for US$24 if I decide to wait until later in the year.
