There is a trick to book a tix up to one
Year out , and then you can cxl and redeposit
Points For IIRC $50 fee ,

Then you must use the  read deposited points within the next quarter that I am believe starts January March  and you can extend for over a year for $50 .
Call them to explain to you exactly how it is done, well worth $50 for 55,000 miles

Thank you! Your saying I should call miles and more and ask them how this is done to extend my miles? Or is this something that I don't want to bring to their attention?

Bring it to their attention . Ask for a Supervisor  first , to explain it fully to you .

They are the ones that explained it to me and there is no reason you should not avail yourself of every benefit they have instated to help their customers . Remember they make $50 also for the redeposit fee

And then cancel it in 329 days?
What would be the cheapest route yq wise?

You can make a res for 330 days out . Make a OW to FRA or MUC whichever has a very low YQ. Then you can cxl and redeposit for IIRC a $50 fee. WHat is your end game for these miles? Do you eventually want to use them for a tix ?

Call and ask them the best way to avoid losing your miles,  and if you get a good person thay will explain to you, but you have to decide how you are going to cash out

Booked the rep said to cancel about 10 days Into the quarter for best results and must by used in that quarter like you said above.

 Did you go  as far out as possible ?   Also  can be rebooked , rinse and repeat. Expensive but better than losing 55k IMO .

Cheap enough to protect 55k

sorry if this is already answered - i can't read through the whole thread now.  just realized that 20k of miles and more points expired on january 1.  Is there a way to activate retroactively? it doesn't look like i can apply any of my alamo or national car rentals to lufthansa.

As far as I know, no.
Lufthansa's M&M T&C doesn't mention anything either:
2.5. Expiration of award miles
If award miles are not redeemed for an award within 36 months of the event (date of flight, beginning of hotel stay, time of car rental etc.) from the mileage account, they shall be forfeited by the end of the next quarter unless longer expiry periods have been published in the Miles & More communication media. The date and amount of the lapsed miles shall be indicated separately in the Miles & More account information or in the member’s individual online mileage account at least one quarter before their expiration date.
