For the avoidance of doubt, Points accrued after 30th June 2026 are not eligible for conversion into cash and may only be redeemed through such further redemption method (if any) as Dialog may introduce and notify from time to time, failing which such Points shall expire and be forfeited in accordance with the provisions on the validity and expiry of Points.
