What to do with expiring miles?
Hi, we were trying to use our mileage during the past six months but Taiwan ended up closing its country for transit passengers twice right before our trips (Jan and May), we ended up buying tickets on OZ.
Now our miles are expiring, I do not think EVA will extended our expiring miles (starting in October).
We have never used EVA miles other than upgrade our EVA tickets from Economy Plus to Business. We have never used our mileage with other airlines, we have never explored that and don't really know how to do it.
About 60,000 miles will expire in October and we wonder what or how we should make use of them before they expire?
Can we use it for domestic United Flights (we are in California)?
Or perhaps get an award ticket round trip to BKK in December (we have more than 150,000 miles), If we booked and issued a ticket before October, can we use our mileage now and fly later?
Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Pop

All miles expiring by May 2022 have now been extended to June 2022. Member status and upgrade certificates have been extended as well.

I asked them too and they said it has been extended but Taiwan government is not allowing them to fly. They are ready but cannot. They have cancelled the YYZ flights but YVR is still operating but they do not seem to know what is going to happen next year.
I hope they start again soon.

Would love to know if there is any info (official or otherwise) about Taiwan's plans to begin relaxing entry/transit restrictions, if anyone has a source.
