As much as we would like our points and miles to last forever, that's often not the case. More often than not, loyalty program points and miles expire. Some loyalty programs are stingy, only giving you six months' validity. Other programs offer mileage validity of up to 10 years!<\/p>\n

The best programs are those whose points and miles do not expire as long as your account is open. In these, you can focus on earning and redeeming your miles without worrying about losing them to expiration.<\/p>\n

We've put together this post to give you a single point of reference. Here, you can find the expiration policies of major loyalty\/rewards programs. Click through to the individual posts for each program's expiration policy details. We have over 80 posts covering expiration policies for every major program<\/a> \u2014 from Accor to Wyndham and Aegean to WestJet.<\/p>\n

However, the easiest way to keep track of your expiration is by tracking loyalty programs through AwardWallet<\/a>. We'll give you advance warning before your points and miles expire, giving you plenty of time to act.<\/p>\n
