Emirates emailed to give us a weeks notice of our airmiles with them expiring and we were able to use them to buy 2 return tickets to Brisbane.

Will stick to emirates when I fly to the UK later this year.
Part of the reason that they don't is that you would literally be bombarded daily with emails saying that you would have points expiring. Your APD expire on a rolling 4-year basis. I'm Elite so my points don't expire. But when I look at my account activity and I see daily accruals of a few Airpoints 'Cents', I can just imagine how frustrated I would be getting emails telling me I have 0.38/1.12/0.75/0.63 APD expiring....
