Hello Kenneth,
Snipes never expire, however your balance from the 2012 purchase was getting close to zero and you couldn't add any high-dollar snipes. Sorry for any confusion there, because we moved to a new payment system that doesn't use balances (for that very reason).
I just added some more snipes to your account so that you do not have to make a purchase. If that isn't satisfactory, please let us know so we can make sure you are happy.
