My connect miles are due to expire on 18th April , I was due to take a star alliance flight that would have kept my miles active , but that had to be cancelled , so I am looking at buying a 1000 miles to stop my existing miles from expiring .

Can anyone let me know if buying miles will work to keep my existing miles safe ?

Yes. Buying, giving, or transferring ConnectMiles will keep your miles from expiring.
Each time a member earns or uses miles, this qualifying account activity will keep the member’s miles valid for 24 months from that date. Giving or transferring miles extends the validity of the miles in the account of the member who initiates the transaction; it also extends the validity of the miles in the recipient’s account. To find out when your miles will expire, please contact ConnectMiles Service Center at 800-2455 or 321-3455.
