Someone's miles are gone !
My problem is my "senior" father got an email saying his points were about to expire soon.And he decided to delete the email completely!And of course needs me to "look into this" now.So I called Hyatt and it wasn't them.Dad cannot remember who is taking his points away.So any ideas who sends emails stating this?He's got all the cards,Thanks so much.

Check expiration policies, so you can for instance check out priority club, as they dont expire.
My 2k accor sign up bonus points expired after 1 year.

Im pretty sure I some time ago received a mail from Hilton on this. Think I ended up buying the minimum points to keep it active.

This is actually a clarion call for all of us aging FTers who have a dozen cards and more for programs. What's a good way to track all the programs and credit cards and is also easy for us to remmeber or our future caretakers to take charge?

I got an e-mail from Hilton in September, just about six weeks ago, about my points getting ready to expire on Nov. 1 if I didn't do something. (Being an FTer, I did something.)
