90k KRIS points expiring 1st June?

[billmurray]

I have an email ive been sitting on from KRIS, with ~90K KRIS miles expiring in June, i assume come 1st June they will be gone.

As a last resort i will transfer to VFF - but what happens if i were to book a flight for April next year for LAX for approx 130k KRIS. Can i change this flight easily to differnt or later date and incur a slight fee for this change?

Can i change the flight in like 6-10 months time to say, LHR or would that be considered a major change or require a cancellation of the previous LAX book which would then then void the expiring points?

I had 95,000 points that were about to expire but was able to find J Advantage reward BNE-SIN-ICN for 123,000 in October, so brought the rest across from Velocity to get it. I used the point.me tool, and it made finding availability a LOT easier.

Pretty sure you can make changes or cancel for a fee/loss of points, as I glanced at the cancellation policy (but didn't note it).

Canceling would result in full loss of points right? Since the point have expired.

You can change the destination but not the origin.

Aren't they extending expiring KrisFlyer miles for a further six months up until the end of June?

Miles expiring in June will be extended until December. Miles expiring in July will expire.

Pretty sure points expiring in June will be extended for 6 months.
In my phone app:
log in to your account, look at miles validity, scroll drown and you can see a table showing extension dates. They were extended due to covid. This is the last extension.
Else you can pay for miles extension. Info re this also in app

Yes @billmurray . log into your KrisFler account and there’s a dedicated page for “expiring miles“ showing exactly the miles in your account that will be extended or not, and June ones will.

On my account page - I also have a bunch of miles expiring in June - and if I follow the link, there is an explicit 'i' against them, saying will be extended.

As always You can extend for 6 months using miles or cash and 1 year if you are an elite member .

You lil ripper. You appear to be right! Thanks for that info about checking on the app.

How can one check when their miles will expire?

See post #8. They tabulate miles expiring by month in the next 12 months; those eligible for extension, they say will be extended.

High time the expiry policy is renewed, an update on this article would be timely with the covid extensions ending.

KrisFlyer Miles Expiration Policy is Outdated & Unfair

Over the past few years, many frequent flyer programs have moved away from customer-unfriendly policy of points expiring after fixed amounts of time.
