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 Delta miles expire?
No. Delta SkyMiles do not expire and there is no inactivity clock — Delta's own program rules state miles never expire. The catch is value rather than time: SkyMiles are priced dynamically against cash fares, so a balance held for years quietly buys less as fares and award prices rise.

GuideDo Nectar points expire?
Not on a date, but you can still lose them. Nectar points carry no expiry date, yet Nectar may close an account with no points earned or spent for 12 months in a row — and the points are lost with it. Scanning your Nectar card or app at Sainsbury's, Argos or eBay once a year keeps the balance safe.
