My alaska airlines miles expired due to 2 yr inactivity on the account. Any one had any success getting them back without a reinstatement fee?

Have you tried emailing your travel manager? They sometimes have pull with airline reps.

I thought they don't expire

Update: called Alaska customer care. Miles expire after 24 months of inactivity and they reinstate the miles for a $75 fee, if you call them within a year of expiry. However they waived the fee for me and reinstated the miles.
