Thank you for the replies!

I've been trying to call for a few days already. Ironically, many of their contact numbers are closed due to covid (even though they are happy to expire my miles...). I will definitely keep trying.

They extended mine for three months.

Hopefully they will do this for me too. Thanks for the info!

I don't have twitter.

I did finally got through to a phone agent who said he put in a request for me, and I should check my account in a week to see if the miles were reinstated, and if they were, I would have 3 months to do some activity.

I emailed them.

If my agent's request doesn't work, I will try this. What email did you use?

Thanks again for the replies!

My wife is in the same situation. Her Avios expired on 8/22/2022. I don't believe we were ever notified of the impending expiration. Is there a way to recover these? I put in a complaint on the website but I don't know how long that will take. I actually want to use them fairly soon.

Thanks will do once my wife is home. Hoping it's not a 3 hour wait like most airlines.

Good luck.

I am having a similar problem. My account was used in the last three years, but I did get an email about a year ago that said they needed my Date of Birth for data security. I thought that email was spam since my account had my date of birth in it, so I did not repond. I called them recently and it is as if my account never existed. No one can tell me what is going on. I DM'd via twitter and I am waiting to hear back.
