So I signed up my credit card and ate at a restaurant. I got 22 miles and now my Skymiles account says it will expire on Dec. 31, 2008. But I think it took two weeks to post so it might be cutting it close. My miles with Delta was going to expire on Dec. 31, 2006. So I signed up my credit card and ate at a restaurant.

I saw that you could use a card and buy something cheap too, but that did not reset my miles either along the way.

Check it out - http://skymiles.rewardsnetwork.com/ I don't fly Delta enough, so I use my miles for magazines. Deals start at 400 miles. I think the Economist subscription is a great deal. https://delta.mpmvp.com/magazine/default.asp No need to buy miles, if you register your card at SkyMiles and go to one of their participating restaurants you can buy a drink or something cheap and it will accrue you miles.

But I've never had much trouble with other airlines in the past. I fly Delta enough that my own miles will pretty much never expire.
