I can imagine I would want to transfer Avios to AY for further use in the future, but for how long I would be able to use these Avios if expiration is set in the past? And I am bit worried that Avios might be marked as expired immediately next time when I try this...
Buy the minimum amount of Avios on the AY site and your worries are taken care of for the next 18+ months.
