Do Lufthansa Miles & More miles expire?

Yes, on a fixed date. Activity alone does not keep them alive. Elite status can stop expiry.

The rule

Miles expire 36 months after crediting, at the end of that quarter. Frequent Traveller, Senator and HON status stop expiry; in some countries so does a Miles & More card.

How to check your expiry date

How to keep them without flying

Earning does not reset the clock. Only Frequent Traveller or higher status stops expiry, or in some countries a Miles & More credit card. Otherwise spend the miles before the quarter-end date.
