I can't seem to replicate it anymore as I was not fully logged in, but cookies/account # saved. It was a screen where it showed the miles and a spot to login (not just the normal yellow login page).
Once fully logged in it shows not expired as expected. It's possibly being coded in the back end to push expiration one year out or so.
