For this fully flex ticket, can just cancel online ? Or need to call in ?

i booked then cancelled online a few days later

full refund of $ and miles came back in less than 7 days.

miles now have new expiration in 2024

everything works well as i was advised to do in this thread. thank you for the help!

I am in the same situation with 40,000 new miles expiring end of Nov.
Looking at the retail options and I see the option to use miles to offset carbon emissions. This is a minimum of just 100 miles it seems.
Will this work for resetting miles expiry?

If you have 40k miles expiring then all must be spent. You want to spend 40k miles on carbon offsets?

These are "new miles" so I thought you just need to have account activity to reset expiry for all the miles? So a 100 mile deduction should work if it credits in time. Am I wrong about this?

Sorry. Missed the reference to "new" miles.

I can confirm that the 100-mile carbon offsets deduction works to extend miles. I had 300k new miles expiring and by doing a 100-mile deduction, they are extended by another 18 months now. The extension was instant.

Sorry I know this is not the correct thread for the question, but any help welcome.

When do CX Asia miles expire ?
I am looking at a BA award from DC to London and want to transfer Amex points - Do I have 3 yrs to use it up?

Also what is the cancel fee like on CX - as of now AA is free and BA charges 55$ but the YQ fees are 750$
Cathay is 61k and only 200$ - This is amazing!

1.5 years, but it can be extended with a new activity, like the one above your post.

120USD or 17000AM to cancel and 50USD or 7500AM to change per https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_...-and-fees.html

Thanks - I sent Amex points yesterday and I am waiting for them to post to my account.
I did find the same info but was not sure - Do the free 24 hr cancels work for US residents? or is it 120$ no matter what?

Update -
I waited 48 hrs - no effect - called Amex and did a transfer Thursday Night
- points in my account on Sat AM - booked a 61k redemption on BA with only 244$ taxes!
Feels like the promised land! - I have been using AA and BA accounts for years (including transfers from Amex to Avios)
Amex to cathay seems much better option for Ex -US flights 250$ vs 750$ fees on awards
(UA may be still better at 70k with 5$ fees outbound to UK)
Ex UK - Still seems a good option - 61k + about 500$ taxes

So the best current options US -> UK / Paris and return are as follows -
Skyteam
2600 = 1350+1250 - VS 48k +877 return to US 48k+629GBP = about 750 USD
(although with Capital One bonus it is 36k)
2400= 1100+1300 - AF 90k+200 on VS/DL return to US 78k+527$
but 70k on AF to CDG

Oneworld
2000 = 860+1130 CX 61k + 250 return to US 61k+520$ (cost 1c using Capital One)
3200 = 1750+ 1650 - AA 58k+750 return to US 58k+667$ (assuming cost 1.8c during sale)
3700 = 2000+ 1700 AS 60k+890 return to US 60k+682 (assuming sale price 1.8c)
2300 = 1150 +1150 BA 80k+350 return to US 80k+350$ (1c cost via Cap One or Citi to QR)
EY- 50k+105$ on AA - (never going to happen)

Star
2900 = 1350+1650 UA- 74k+5$ return to US 74k+315$ (UA mile sales @1.8c)
1750 = 650 + 1100 = AC 60k+76$ on same UA flight return on SK 70k+468$C to 90k +471C$ (1c cost via Cap One)
1500 = 750+750 TK- 45k each way - but I have horrendous experiences booking for others - for oneself it is OK
1500 = Lifemiles but terrible call center

I was checking similar ideas on other routes with Flex ticket,they usually allow redeeming 10000 pts or less. I have 90K pts expiring, what strategy could I use?

How to prevent Asiamiles from expiring?
 

I dont live in HK and other than flying, how could the Asiamiles be prevented from expiring?

1. Does CX sell Asiamiles ?
2. Can we buy items from online mall and earn Asiamiles?

Tks
