    My miles are due to expire at the end of the month which I would like to prevent as I am starting to focus on building more of a balance. Has anyone any tips on preventing this please?

    Gagravarr is absolutely right.

    If you don't have Frequent Traveller, Senator or HON Circle status in Miles & More, the only (UK) way to circumvent the 36 month expiry is via the credit card he links to. See the summary table below:

    Failing that, there's always the Fly Smart or Mileage Bargains option as a potentially good value way to use your miles for flights at the last minute.

    Sounds like you need to do a mileage run then, to hit the 35,000 status miles...

    Yep, I think that was indeed the case (and still is for those who have the card). Unfortunately, MBNA don't issue the card anymore so it's no longer possible.

    I believe when I held the card, you also had to use it each month, to stop miles expiring?
    I don't hold the card anymore, if someone could please confirm...

    Yes, you need a purchase (any amount) each month.
