Asiana Airlines, a South Korean carrier and Star Alliance member, offers the Asiana Club loyalty program. Its mileage expiration policy is unique, featuring a long 'hard expiry' period that depends on your elite status.

Asiana Club Miles Expiration Policy

Asiana Club miles have a fixed expiration date based on when they were earned and your status at that time.

  • Miles earned while holding Asiana Club Magic Miles, Silver, or Gold status are valid for 10 years from the date they were earned.
  • Miles earned while holding Asiana Club Diamond, Diamond Plus, or Platinum status are valid for 12 years from the date they were earned.

Similar to ANA, this is a 'hard expiry'. Account activity, such as earning or redeeming miles, does not extend the validity of miles already earned. Each batch of miles expires 10 or 12 years after it was credited, depending on your status tier at the time of earning.

This generous expiration period gives members ample time to redeem miles, but it still requires tracking, especially for long-term balances.

Keeping Track and Using Miles

Given the hard expiry nature, the only way to prevent losing Asiana Club miles is to redeem them before their specific 10 or 12-year expiration date.

  • Monitor your Asiana Club account to track the expiration dates associated with different batches of your miles.
  • Plan redemptions, like award flights on Asiana or Star Alliance partners, considering the long-term validity but ensuring miles are used before they expire.

Official Policy

For the most accurate details on status levels and expiration, always refer to the official Asiana Club resources:

  • Asiana Club Guide/Website (Navigate through the Asiana Club sections for mileage validity rules, often found in membership guides or terms).
  • Check your personal account statement for specific mile expiration information.

Asiana Club's 10-12 year hard expiry offers significant flexibility, but understanding that activity doesn't extend validity is key to managing your miles effectively over the long term.
