Air miles expiry period

I was a member of the British Airways Executive club some 10 years ago and had 2,100 air miles left.
I recently tried to access these air miles but was told by a BA service center employee that they had expired along with my membership. Do air miles expire and has anyone else had a similar experience ?

    Have you been living in a time capsule? It's not unusual.

    Just buy a bit of currency through the BA Exec club to keep your account active.

  • I managed to reactivate a VERY old BA Exec club (7yrs) account I had through several phone calls to them. Didn't remember my password, user name or number or even the address I'd used, but I finally convinced them to re-open my account. However, there we zero miles in it - I just needed it opening so I could start claiming miles again
