According to Asia Miles official notice, beginning Jan. 1, 2020, Asia Miles points can be renewed for another 18 months as long as there is mileage activity within 18 months. Most airline-mileage programs in Asia only have a 3-year validity period. This is another good improvement after United Airlines and Southwest Airlines in North America moved to non-expiring miles. Asia Miles can transfer in points from the three major North American points systems MR/TYP/Marriott. For readers who like Asia Miles and accumulate miles slowly, this is good news.
- Miles earned before Jan. 1, 2020 will continue under the existing "3-year validity" policy.
- Miles earned on Jan. 1, 2020 or later will follow this new policy.
