Do Sol Melia Points expire

I've tried emailing sol melia, but 2 months later, still no reply.

Appreciate any answers from the experts here. Thx!

I'm unsure of their official policy but they indeed eventually expire if your account has no activity for a while... Seems like a manual process, though.

I accumulated some points from a single trip about 7 years ago; three years later they took them all back with a comment line stating that it was related to account inactivity.

So I guess YMMV.

Good luck!

Yes!

Yes, they do expire. I just lost about 7,000 points due to inactivity.

They do expire after 2 years of inactivity. For example: your last stay was 27.9.2008. You loose all your points on 27.9.2010.
But it is possible (I live in Germany) to transfer the points 2:1 to miles-and-more or air berlin by phone.

but remember....if you purchase points in any small denomination that is considered as account activity and will therefore extend the period for another 2 years!

I also lost points (~ 9500) - it's good to know about the M&M transfer option.

I think I have had about 30k points for 10 years or so...had an occasional stay here and there, sometimes more than two years in between...now I cannot get into my account anymore .
