GOOD NEWS! Krisflyer Miles to be extended until 2023 [previously April 2022]

[NoName]

Does anyone know that miles expiring in july 2023 = 31st july expiry date?

Ive got a heap expiring and need to decide when and where to use them

I also have miles expiring this month and the app says 31 July.

And this is almost for another thread but those that dont really have a place or plan to go.

Whether its posible to book for 12 months time and then when 12 months comes up to extend it again. Ive got mixed replies

I thinks it’s a YMMV, I was able to. When I rang to enquire the answer was yes, when I later tried to actually do it the answer was no, I complained and it got escalated and the supervisor said yes. So may need a HUACA or escalation.

I wish we could get official confirmation.
I may have posted my experiences in this site before. But recently (2 months ago)
I tried to get confirmation
1 rep said not sure
2nd rep said cant say yes or no but you can now but in future things may change
3rs rep said yes easy, i even asked if it was ok to save the chat as an email as evidence, and for her to check with supervisor

In my situation i have about 900k expiring in the next few months so i am thinking of booking 3x 300k flights for myself for a years time , then extending 2 of them for another 12 months

Definitely keep a copy of the chat - most chat systems provide that option automatically, so no legal issue there. Equally, given reports of 'poor' advice from some CSAs then you are well within your legal rights to keep a copy of the chat.

Just make sure you file it away somewhere safe and memorable. Full digital copies of phone calls also come in useful, and are your right to request under the Federal Privacy Legislation.

Well the fact they did it for me indicates it CAN be done, the problem seems to be training and/or willingness! Have you already done the paid extension?

Have not done the paid extensiom , however 'back of napkin' maths made the fee very high

My guess is that if you push for official confirmation, they will confirm no - it is not allowed.

While I agree, may be worth extending some at least, a payment to extend some of your points (while not attractive) is always better than losing them totally. E.g. in your case with 3 * 300K point maybe pay for one lot of those 300K, but of course everyone's calculation is different, so I can understand why you might not want to even I think this sounds useful.

Very good point

And now I've received my account statement from KrisFlyer showing 0 miles

 

[daft009]

So glad to have used mine up . All on redemptions including a trip in June 2024 to Europe to attend a 4 day trance festival with a mate!

Not sure where the entire 5.5mil went! But glad they weren't wasted

hey everyone, i know the general rule of 350 days in advance is when seats are released, and the higher cabin you go the rarer it is.

given that there are a lot of people with points expiring soon (inc me)

what is the best chance to snag a J or F Flight (Long haul) lets say europe, USA,
lets say departing australia anytime from 1 weeks time to one year in advance?

ie super flexible, but just want to use the miles

Looking in Feb 2024 (from SYD) there seemed to be a number of to/from Europe in J around for different European airports. Even Saver redemptions. F on the other hand - not so much.

For Europe, look at flights to FRA.
