Saving your miles

Save your airline miles

If you have frequent flyer miles make sure that some regular activity is done on your account so that they wont expire. Most of the frequent flyer miles expire in 18 months if there is no activity. Activity could be anything like flying on that airline(or partners), using credit cards tied to those accounts, redeeming miles for flying, magazine subscription, etc.

There is one other easier and faster way to add activity to your account and also be part of a good cause. Donate portion of your miles (some airlines allow as little as 250 miles) and the activity normally posts the same day. Delta is one of the airlines that has the minimum donation of 5000 miles and also has long posting delay so please check with airlines.
