You can find them here. Check 4.4 Validity and transfer of miles
IMO this is the biggest downside of Victoria. Mile expiration. 3 years and that's it. Although IME the miles expire not on the 3 year anniversary from date of collection as mentioned above but rather at the end of the membership year.
You can check this on Victoria Online Extract, where any expiring miles will always be on the same date (end of membership year)
Foggy to say the least. That's why TP Victoria collecting for me is at a minimum and only to get an award ticket every other December with the 50% promo.

4.4.1. Victoria Miles are valid for three (3) years from the date of collection, unless specified otherwise. The validity of the miles is calculated as from the date of collection.

Really you should consider using up your miles and collecting on any other Star Alliance programme. Air Canada, BMI and Aegean give you short runs up to status which ensures your miles do not die.

and you know, I just need a program thanks to which in a case of a flight with *a i can get some miles that won't die. grrrr why doesn't SkyTeam fly to Açores? :/
ALTHOUGH HEY, WAIT. How amazing that Air Canada's FFP is willing to give 100% of mileage for LOT's discounted economy.
