Asia Miles do not expire provided you do activity within the stipulated time-frame. However with Status Points, they expire per membership year, until next year, where the membership year becomes a calendar year.
So for example, for your query specifically, if you say took a flight on 29 January 2026, and get 10 Status Points (the 153 points total you noted), and 500 Asia Miles (e.g. balance of 12,700), but as your membership year ends on 31 January, then on 1 February your Status Points balance gets reset to 0, but your Asia Miles remains at 12,700.
I know what Asian miles are and for me I don't really use them for anything my focus is on the status points because I took my flight before it was set to expire.. I went from 125 to 153 points, so I gained points because last year I flew on another carrier so my only reason for flying with Cathay was to not have the Status points expire.
However when the listed end date came my 153 status points all went to 0 and I pretty much flew as if I never signed up for any rewards, even my flight back the same day it shows me that I only earned 40 status points when it should be 193 points.
