go to the respective airlines' website and follow their instructions. usually you need to still have the boarding pass

most will have a 6 or 3 month limit.

And yes, that's one of the top of every faq in the respective mileage program.

Even if the airline you flew on has a 3 month limit, it may be possible to get an alliance partner to credit it later.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

 you most likely will need to have kept your BPs (Boarding Passes) and they usually require the Original BPs

it all depends where.

some companies tend to lose your BP's if you don't send them registered...

I had this with flying blue....

also a refund they are supposed to give me they need to be reminded off...
