I have been alerted to the fact that in February 4,500 sq points will expire from my Krisflyer account. at this time I have a total of 155,414 in my Kris Flyer account.
this week I transferred 50,000 miles from my Velocity account over to the Kris flyer thinking this would take care of the problem and would stop any points from expiring, but I've just been told by Kris flyer that the only thing I can do to save them is to buy (one time only) points and that is for a six month period at which time those 4,500 points will expire and furthermore, she said that nothing can save these 4,500 miles.
I cannot understand why it's just 4,500 points that are expiring (all the others will expire in 24 months apparently)
1. Should I transfer ALL my points back to my velocity account?
2. I know that by transferring from Velocity to Krisflyer was 1.35:1
so in effect I already 'lost' approximately 11000 in the transfer.
3. If I now transfer all the points in my krisflyer will I now lose another huge amount
4. and then, if I transfer back to krisflyer once again in a year's time when I want to book a flight, will I lose yet another lot of points, in fact, even more because the exchange rate is going up on January 1st?
I don't intend to try to use my points to book award flights until probably the end of 2019
I truly am so confused and hope someone can clearly explain it to me.
thank you in advance
