ESTA Validity
 
I have just had an email stating my ESTA is due to expire in the next 30 days. I don't recall receiving similar emails before.
I applied on 20 May 2012 and thought it was valid for 2 Years. I have dug out the ESTA and indeed it does state expiry on 20 May 2014.

The link attached does take me to the genuine ESTA site rather than one that charges too much.

I'm not planning to travel again until later this year or maybe early next year.

Anyone with any thoughts or comments?

Never click on link in a (spam?) email

Is your passport expiring soon? My ESTA expired when my passport did

No my Passport is good till 2018.
Link does take me to the genuine ESTA site.
My wife who applied for an ESTA on the same day as me has so far not received anything at all.

Often, not always, US authorities send a genuine ESTA email before expiring date as a reminder.
I had it after my first ESTA, and not on second one.
Simply log into your ESTA account not from that link but googling it with your credential and you're ok.

I got one of those notices. It was genuine (and correct).

on ESTA, I am not sure when mine expires and not sure what email address I put down.

it's definitely been over a year.

is there any harm in me just applying for a new one? and/or would the airline (BA in this case) system flag that I need a new one?
