Do AAdvantage miles expire?
Yes. American AAdvantage miles expire after 24 months with no earning or redemption activity, and any qualifying activity resets the clock on the full balance. AAdvantage credit-card holders and members under 21 are exempt, so their miles stay alive however long the account sits idle.
GuideDo Hyatt points expire?
Yes. World of Hyatt points expire after 24 consecutive months of account inactivity. Any earning or redemption activity resets the clock on the whole balance, and holding a Hyatt credit card keeps the account active on its own. There is no fixed expiry date, only the inactivity window.
GuideDo United miles expire?
No. United MileagePlus miles do not expire; United dropped its 18-month inactivity rule in August 2019 and has not reinstated it. A balance survives an idle account indefinitely. What it does not survive is devaluation — United prices awards dynamically, so miles held for years tend to buy less.
GuideHow to earn AAdvantage miles
American AAdvantage members earn 5 miles per $1 on American Airlines fares, rising to 7, 8, 9 and 11 with Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum status; basic economy earns none.

GuideHow to earn United miles
Since April 2026, United pays by fare, status and whether you hold a United credit card: general members earn 3 miles per $1 without one and 6 with one, rising to 9 and 12 for Premier 1K. Basic Economy earns less, and nothing for general members without a card. Chase points transfer in at 1:1.

GuideHow to book United awards
United has no award chart: miles prices move with demand and the cash fare, and the cheapest are limited saver seats. Since April 2026 primary United cardmembers pay at least 10% fewer miles on United flights. Awards can be changed or canceled free before departure, and Star Alliance partners can be booked with the same miles.
