Lufthansa Miles & More – Mile expiry and soft landing

[gammax]

Hey,
I do have a couple of newbie questions that I was not able to find a proper answer online:

1. I got SEN status through the SAS status match in 2024. This will expire in Feb 2026 though. Will I soft land to FTL or will I be downgraded to Blue if I didn’t credit only a couple of flights to M&M?

2. I do have ~150K miles from a bunch of old flights (pre 2020) on my account. I never used them, but so far they were protected from FTL+SEN statuses. As I am UK based, it seems like there are no good M&M credit card to prevent them from expiring. Will they expire 3 years **after** Feb 2026, when I would potentially lose my status? Or will they expire 3 years after the original date I collected them (i.e. most likely they will expire in Feb 2026 then?).

3. What is the best way to use those M&M miles? I would be fine converting them to hotel loyalty points, but it seems this is not possible, right?

4. I also have 2x eVouchers to upgrade a flight. I suppose they will also expire in Feb 2026. Would it be possible for me to use them on a flight booked for layer in the year (say Nov 2026) or should I use them by Feb 2026?
