Does transferring miles reset the expiry date?
Not a cheap option at $25 per 1000 (purchase is $40 per 1000) but if the miles are otherwise about to expire and be entirely lost, justifiable if the expiry date is reset.

Sorry I am not sure. I think they do reset. But please let someone else ask or speak to Emirates via this live chat link http://www.emirates.com/uk/english/h.../phone-us.aspx .. opens in 11 hours.

Looks like they will reset, if I am reading the above correctly.

Thanks to jamjuruk. Looks like it does reset the expiry date. Genuinely tried to look for this before but without luck. From the website FAQs:
How long are transferred Miles valid for?
Transferred Skywards Miles are valid for a minimum of 3 years from the date of transfer and will expire at the end of the receiving member’s month of birth on the third year.
