SQ cancelled flight ... miles forfeited?

SQ cancelled IAH-MAN-SIN in April.

this was an award ticket where I had previously modified the dates.

SQ tells me the ticket can’t be reissued in June (when in theory the flight restarts) because it’s over 12 months since the Original ticket was issued.

I was also told I can’t get the miles back because they would had expired in Jan 2020.

Has anyone run into this?

it seems ridiculous SQ punished customers because flights cancelled due to COVID-19

When is your flight ? Exact date ? And when did you talk to them? You ask to change the flight in March ?

The latest policy was changed on 9/April which allow extension of expired miles.

What [@sbs2716g] said: For better or worse, prior to 9th April people in your situation lost their miles and I don't know if any of them had any luck in getting them reinstated.

When in April is your flight? Check the new covid-19 update.
Should you are not eligible, You could email them for exception.
I am waiting for them to release some seats too.

Fortunately, the details are as written on the SQ FAQ.
Your miles will be redeposited, and their expiry reset to 30 June 2021.
Call back and quote the FAQ details.

======
I used miles in my booking(s), and I understand that the expiry dates will be extended where applicable. How will they be extended?
======
Miles used in the eligible booking(s) will have their expiry dates extended as per below:
Miles Expiry Month Miles--------------- to be Redeposited and Extended Till:
On or before March 2020--------------- 30 June 2021 (^ Miles cannot be further extended)
Between April 2020 and May 2021--- 30 June 2021
On or after June 2021 -------------------Original miles expiry date
