Reduced tier requirements
Until 31 August 2026, you can maintain your current tier membership or move up to the next with just 80% of the required Tier Miles or qualifying flights:
- Silver: 20,000 Tier Miles or 20 qualifying flights
- Gold: 40,000 Tier Miles or 40 qualifying flights
- Platinum: 120,000 Tier Miles with 1 flight in First Class or Business Class
Terms and conditions apply.
Skywards Miles Expiry Policy Change
From 1 June 2027, your Skywards Miles will be valid for three years from the flight or partner activity date rounded to the end of the month. This will replace the current approach where expiry is in three years rounded to the end of your birth month.
This change will apply to Skywards Miles earned from 1 June 2027 and will not affect Miles already in your account.
The update ensures a consistent Miles expiry period for all members, which will improve fairness and make it easier for you to track the validity of your Skywards Miles.
Here’s what you can expect:
