e-miles expiration
Do they really expire your miles 1 year after they are earned?
===== from e-miles member agreement ===
Section 8) Expiration of e-Miles Miles
e-Miles miles not deposited or redeemed toward a selected redemption option expire one (1) year from when the e-Miles miles were earned. For example, e-Miles miles earned in January will expire in January of the following year if the e-Miles miles have been deposited. e-Miles miles earned in calendar year 2012 will be considered and treated as 1st quarter 2013 earnings.
e-Miles miles will expire if a member does not reply to one (1) or more earning opportunities each month.
At e-Miles' sole discretion, e-Miles may choose to waive or defer enforcement of the expiration of Member's e-Miles miles.

Points/miles are posted (sent from eMiles to your airline) at the end of the month (mine have always shown up in my air miles account within the first week of the next month) .... so it depends on when you did the redemption ....

Seems like the last month or so the number of 5 point opportunities have slowed. I thought maybe it was due to the holidays, but so far it hasn't picked back up. Maybe it's just cyclical, but I'm within striking distance of an award. (Not sure why that gets me impatient. It's only 500 miles. And yet ... ) tls

Well, it happened once again. Not long after I post about the slow down in e-miles offers ... I get an e-miles offer. Perhaps I'll post more often! ;-) tls

Maybe if I grumble, my IHG points from early in the month will appear in my account then. I redeemed for those on January 2, and they're still listed as pending. In comparison, the e-Rewards I redeemed for on Jan. 3 showed up on January 8.

They should post in early Feb. E-miles redemptions post early in the month following the one in which you redeem. Tls
