Many airlines have account mileage expiration dates due to lack of activity in an account. Southwest Rapid Reward Points expire if there is no “qualifying activity” after 24 months. I have about 60,000 points sitting in my account with a looming October expiration date.
So, as I have often done in the past (mostly with American AAdvantage Miles), I just ordered a travel magazine subscription to prevent my Southwest Rapid Rewards points from expiring. I can’t help it, I am a dinosaur and still like reading magazines, especially when I travel. Not to mention, it is an easy way to extend your expiration date for a small price. (The subscription was $17).
