Be careful with the UA/CO merger. AFAIK, CO miles never expire, but I bet that will change with the merger.

Probably miles will expire if there hasn't been activity on your account in 18 or 24 months

Just keep an ear out for changes, so you don't lose your miles

- I'm certain they will, just like DL/NW did, but haven't heard the announcement yet. -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 09:37 5

    - I think you did have to take action for DL/NW, to link the accounts - ty97 Nov 16, 09:42 3

        I'd be surprised if the details aren't announced by 1Q10 at the latest (but that's just my gut feel) -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 09:45 1

Will do. The cool thing is that my UA miles never expire either (so far). I've actually been able to get the free flight out of them. -- nm - Diva Nov 16, 09:34 2
- Note that UA miles do expire, if you have no 'activity' - ty97 Nov 16, 09:37 1
  - oh dear - thx! -- nm - Diva Nov 16, 09:49
