Added Malaysia, Garuda Indosian, EVA Air, and Thai, thus completing all the Citi TYP transfer partners.

Wiki updated toI probably missed a few things here & there, but this should be a substantial improvement.

Choice went from hard to soft but expiry period got cut in about half
 

I just realized Choice Privileges (hotel program) was out of date, so I updated it. The reason I kept a summary of how it used to be is because the expiration went from a longer hard one to a shorter soft one.

I updated the wiki to add a warning about Air Canada Aeroplan, that despite activity every 12 month resetting expiration, the plan for Air Canada to split from Aeroplan may have long-term implications that relate to expiration, even if they are not technically expiration.

In the wiki, I added Jet Airways JetPrivilege, and updated Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles, since Citi TYP has added those two as transfer partners.

I just added Avianca (AV) LifeMiles to the wiki, since it just joined Citi TYP as a redemption partner.

I updated the wiki for the changes coming to Avianca on April 15: Redeeming will no longer defer (reset) expiration, only earning will. Furthermore, expiration is shortening to 12 months (from 24) except for those with Avianca status or the Avianca credit card.

Updated the IHG info to re-insert that Gold/Platinum/Spire members points never expire. That seems to have been lost in one of the previous updates.

Not sure I like the change of format, where a substantial number of entries have links to other FT threads/wiki that discuss the individual loyalty systems' expiration. The point of the wiki was to be a one stop definitive source of expiry info.....state the expiry...state how to extend it (if possible)...and point to the T&C of the relevant programme so as those interested can see the formal details. Pointing to other threads that may or may not have good/conflicting/anecdotal information, dilutes the authority of this wiki.

I guess that's the shortcoming of these wikis, a format that has been crowd-sourced and accepted over a few years, can be unilaterally changed.

Another thing missing from the Wiki is waivers. For example, a co-branded credit card of lifetime status may waive expiration for some programs.

Perhaps you could add what's missing. The current format works fine for me.

I just updated the wiki (for Flying Blue) as best I could figure out, after learning that Flying Blue has changed their expiration from 20 months to 24 months (2 years), and has added a couple more reset possibilities (current elite status that's high enough, not just lifetime status as before, and some -- but not sure which -- co-branded credit cards).

And that's it for things which reset all miles expiration, but just to make it complicated they added some things that reset the expiration of some miles but not others:

https://www.flyingblue.us/en/faq/cat...ll-about-miles (expand "How long are my miles valid?"):

I'm new here so not sure how exactly it works, but I didn't find Finnair here, which should belong to the ones that don't expire!

Nope.

From https://www.finnair.com/nl/gb/finnai...air-plus/rules
No expiry if an eligible activity in 18 months is common to many ffp's
They will expire if you do not have activity

I will add to the wiki when I have a better internet connection

I have updated in the Wiki here for Amtrak - from 3 years to 2 years. Per its updated T&C as of April 3, 2019, under "D. Point Expiration":

The linked FT thread in the wiki had already been updated in its own wiki.

Given the news at Doctor of Credit, which I also posted in the linked Etihad forum expiry thread, I updated the Wiki to show that Etihad has just changed from hard to soft expiration.

EY forum thread here from a few days ago:-- https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/etih...-nov-19-a.html

Anybody care to add Shangri-La Golden Circle? I'm not allowed to edit the Wiki.

Shangri-La Golden Circle: End of the calendar year the points were earned plus 2 years hard expiry (item D. i. 8. in T&C).

Thanks. I just added it.

I also noticed Southwest had not yet been moved to non-expiring, so I did so.

Cathay Pacific Asia Miles change for the better

Changes the wiki to update two hotel programs: Hilton just changed from 12 to 15 months, and Accor has changed to a new program ALL with new T&C link and new 365 days (but still requires an eligible stay to reset).

VS Flying Club Changes
 

Virgin Atlantic points (new name) will have no expiration effective 2020/09/24.
Detailed info in FAQ format at this link.

Updated to show that Hawaiian (HA) miles no longer expire.

I believe Hilton changed to 24 months on January 1st. Following is from their page. I am trying to check all mine now and this forum is helpful.

Members who do not have eligible activity as defined in a. - d. below in any 24 consecutive month period may be removed from the Program and are subject to forfeiture of all accumulated Points. At the discretion of Hilton Honors, such Members may be permitted to remain in the Program and removed after five years of inactivity. To keep accumulated Hilton Honors Points, the Member must take one of the following actions within a 24 consecutive month period: (a) stay at a hotel within the Hilton Portfolio pursuant to the terms herein; (b) earn Hilton Honors Points through any third party source of Hilton Honors Point accumulation, including a Hilton co-branded credit card, pursuant to its terms; (c) purchase Hilton Honors Points; or, (d) donate Points through The Hilton Honors Giving Back Program.

I wonder if Korean Air Skypass miles do expire or not? If not then they should be added into the Don't expire category still have my 18k miles from December 2006-January 2007 JFK-ICN-MNL roundtrip all on Korean Air

I saw today at the end of this thread:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/alas...need-help.html

that Alaska Airline miles no longer expire, and it provided a link to the section of the terms that state that, so I updated the Wiki above to move Alaska Airlines to the Never Expire section with that link.

Would not fully agree with that. AS ffp needs activity to keep alive. Many other ffp's have the same activity rule, with a time limit. Often 18, 24 or 36 months.
For this thread "do not expire" means do not expire even when no activity. Like with UA

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/36348691-post15.html

Just about every program that has no miles/points expiration has some policy for needing to keep the account alive. That's not unique to Alaska.

And the second quote you included says: "Mileage Plan miles do not have an expiration date and may remain in an active account indefinitely".

So, Alaska no longer needs activity to keep the miles alive, just some unspecified amount of activity to keep the account alive.

And btw, not only the airlines and hotels listed under Never Expire have this kind of no-expiration policy. Some programs, like Marriott for example, have a no-expiration policy just for members with certain level(s) of elite status. But again, you need occasional account activity, it's just not specified how often that has to be, to keep that account alive. But it's certainly activity that's less often than the expiration period for those people who don't qualify for the no-expiration policy.
