That is said Feb 2027 is a long time away so many things can change. Besides you probably cannot book the flight until at least May 2026 the earliest.
I wonder if you would be able to book for Feb 2027 in May 2026 if they extend it slightly.
the post was 3 years ago where covid would have played a factor in the decision. furthermore, OP in the reddit thread waitlisted for a flight departing before expiry, meaning he had the intention to use those miles before expiry but it just didnt clear, so he had a more legitimate claim

and you can book 360 days in advance, so you can book feb 2027 in feb 2026

but i agree no harm trying, but dont expect anything
