Do Avios expire?

Yes. Avios lapse after 36 months with no activity on your British Airways Club account, not on a fixed calendar date. Any single earn or spend, however small, resets the clock on your entire balance. Other Avios programs, including Iberia, Aer Lingus and Qatar, set their own inactivity windows.

Do 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.

Tool

Avios calculator

The Avios calculator turns a year of card and everyday spending into the Avios it earns, values that total at the current typical rate, and shows how far it reaches on the reward chart. It needs no sign-up and no loyalty password, and answers in pounds, dollars and euros.

How to earn Avios
