I have over 33K Asia Miles literally expiring tomorrow. I know that I shouldn't have waited so long to make provisions, but is there a quick and easy way to extend their expiration date?

In my account, it lists the following ways to do it:


Simple ways to stay active

Earning and redeeming Miles when you fly with Cathay Pacific or out other airline partners

Spending with our co-branded credit cards

Redeeming Miles for Travel or Lifestyle Awards


The first option is out, since I am not flying with CX or their partners.

The second option is also out, since I don't have a co-branded credit card.

So, that leaves the third option: Redeeming Miles for Travel or Lifestyle Awards.

What is the minimum number of miles that I can redeem for "Lifestyle Awards" in order to keep them active and reset their expiry date?
If, for example, I redeem 5K miles for a Lifestyle Award, will the expiration date on my remaining 28K miles be reset?

Thanks
