Further information about redeeming miles

How long are my Miles & More award miles valid for?

Award miles are valid for 36 months from the date of being acquired. Unused miles expire at the end of the relevant quarter. We will inform you about mileage expiry in the following ways:

 

  • The miles that are due to expire at the end of the current quarter and at the end of the following quarter are shown in your online statement.
  • You will receive a summary of all the miles that are due to expire at the end of the current quarter approximately two months in advance in your online newsletter. You can subscribe to the newsletter here.

    Here is an example: you took a flight from Frankfurt to New York on 12.12.2021. The miles you earned for this flight will expire 36 months later at the end of the quarter, i.e. on 31.12.2024.
