No miles for AC/CO/UA/US.50% with Aegean.
Credit the whole thing to Aegean (S earns 100%) and go for *G?Only need 19K with a new account for *G.
Really?!Holy mackerel...instead of Silver earned this year on CO I could have easily gotten Gold Anyway, I will definitely do it this way and I'll be almost halfway there! Will the 1k bonus points for opening the new account help toward the 19k?FYI - this link makes it seem that I only need to collect 16K...is it correct?http://en.aegeanair.com/milesandbonus/program-description/benefits/gold-card-privileges/Thanks!
You need to first earn *S for 4K, then it resets to 0, and then you 16K for *G, so you need 20K in total.The 1K opening bonus counts, so that's where I got the 19K from.Note that Aegean miles aren't worth as much as CO, so while *G is at 19K instead of 50K, the miles themselves aren't as valuable.
Wow, does anyone here have an Aegean *G card?It seems when you qualify that you get a *G card valid for 3 or 4 years and that you only need to credit a single flight within that entire period to maintain *G?? Can that possibly be right?
that would be insane
From the Ts and Cs and from anecdotal evidence on FT it seems that indeed once you reach Aegean *G any activity within 36 months keeps your *G card active for another 36 months!
Do only flight miles count toward Aegan *G status...can I transfer points somehow?
Dunno, bur I don't see any transfer partners.
I know a guy with it. Gonna give him a call right now
Keep us posted. Time to find a 19K MR on US
how 4 days?
He said he qualified for silver around 4/2011, and received the status until 12/14. he qualified for *G on about 8/2011, and the exp stayed the same.
