I think it is 2 year even though my account is still showing 3 years.
I haven't fly DL for years since they implement change fee. Once a year, I fly CO and put mile in DL account to keep it alive.

While the report claims some frequent flyers will welcome the new rules, I suspect they will be in the deep minority. Many of us have "primary" ff programs and "secondary" programs that we use only occasionally. These quick expirations mean we have to waste time paying attention to expiration dates, and make it less attractive to fly airlines that we use only occasionally.
I wonder if some sort of group protest by flyertalk members might get some of the program managers to reverse their decisions. The "three year rule" really seems quite fair, and it seems downright greedy to shorten that time period. I also think it can be harmful for the airlines themselves, as it will make it hard to cultivate new customers (like college students who fly only a couple of times a year).
