So the miles protected for three years in 2005 expire Jan 1, 2008 (two years) if there's no activity in 2006 or 2007? Or expire Jan. 1, 2007 if no activity in 2005 and 2006?

Or does it mean that miles in the account as of Dec. 31, 2006 are "forever" protected for three years while miles deposited thereafter are protected for only two years?
The penultimate and ultimate sentences are completely contradictory. My guess is that someone made a cut-and-paste error, and left in a sentence with the old three-year timeframe.
