   Each reward ticket is valid for one year from the date of issue.

In the case of regaining miles, the miles still valid on the refund date will be returned to the nominator’s account from which the miles were deducted for the award number. If the award number is expired, meaning a new reward ticket cannot be issued and miles cannot be returned, no handling fee will be charged.
