LATAM points expire on the last day of the 36th month if there are no earnings in your account, or if your account is closed. To prevent expiration, make sure to earn or redeem points on a regular basis and use any unredeemed rewards before closing your account.
When LATAM Points Expire
- On the last day of the 36th month if there are no earnings in your account.
- When you close your account without redeeming any unused points.
- When LATAM decides to close your account due to a violation of the program’s terms.
Keeping your LATAM account in good standing is essential to preventing account closure and forfeiture of your points. Always review the issuer's terms and conditions regularly to stay informed about updates or changes that could impact your account status.
