Cathay Pacific Miles Expired

My Cathay Pacific miles expired at the end of September this year. I contacted Cathay's customer service, and they replied that they couldn't be restored. I was wondering if there are any other options? Can I retroactively add a car rental order from before the expiration date? Thanks!

Cathay Pacific Asia Miles Expired/Reinstatement

Thanks for any advice.
