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
Are your miles old miles (earned in 2019 or before) or new miles (earned in 2020 or after)? If they are old miles, these tricks won't work. You have to refer to https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cath...il-2022-a.html

If they are new miles, any activity will do, even if you only get 1 mile deducted.
