EVA Air is one of the smaller but beloved Asian airlines. From its main base in Taipei, the airline serves destinations in Asia, Europe, and North America. Since its inception in 1989, EVA Air has developed a reputation for delivering excellent service.<\/p>\n

Its loyalty program is called Infinity MileageLands, which is also the name of its mileage currency. The program has a relatively generous mileage expiration policy, but you'll want to familiarize yourself with when your miles will expire before initiating a transfer to the program.<\/p>\n

Here is all you need to know about EVA Air's mileage expiration policy.<\/p>\n

Do EVA Air Infinity MileageLands Miles Expire?<\/span><\/h2>\n

EVA miles generally expire 36 months after being earned. Per the EVA Air MileageLands mileage accrual terms and conditions page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Award Miles earned by travelling on EVA Air \/ UNI Air international flights, or through non-flight partners, will be retained for only thirty-six (36) months from: a) the travel date; or b) the application date for transfer of mileage from the non-flight partner's points system.<\/em><\/p>\n

Expired Award Miles will be automatically cancelled without notice and subtracted from the total Awards Mile mileage accrued in the Member's account.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, there's an exception if you reside in a country that prohibits airlines from allowing miles to expire based on time alone:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere an Infinity MileageLands member's jurisdictional legal regime prohibits the expiration of Award Miles based on time alone, Award Miles will only expire after thirty-six (36) months from: a) the travel date; or b) the application date for transfer of mileage from the non-flight partner's points system only if the Infinity MileageLands member fails engage in certain account activity.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For travelers based in these countries, you can extend your miles with qualifying activity:<\/p>\n

The required account activity to avoid expiration of Award Miles is:<\/em><\/p>\n

(1) to redeem any Awards Miles during the thirty-six (36) months from: a) the travel date; or b) the application date for transfer of mileage from the non-flight partner's points system; and<\/em><\/p>\n

(2) to travel on an EVA Air \/ UNI Air international flight(s) within the twelve (12) months prior to the date when Award Miles would otherwise expire.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If your miles expire, you can pay to reinstate them within six months of expiration<\/a>. Reinstated miles will be valid for another 12 months.\u00a0Miles are reinstated in multiples of 1,000, at a cost of $10 per 1,000 miles.<\/p>\n
