If my first leg of my journey already posted to my ua account, can I still credit the rest to Aegean?
Is there any way of reversing my credited points from ua, to Aegean?

you have a year from when you hit silver to get another 16k with Aegean in order to get gold.
I assume that if you don't hit gold the first year, then your year starts over after you lose silver status (or if you didn't hit silver, then the new year starts again on account anniversary)

Incorrect. Aegean status never expires, period.

Now, if your account is inactive for three years, then the whole account gets cancelled, taking down your silver or gold status with it; but once you earn silver, you never lose it, as long as you credit a flight every once in a while.

My balance is showing 20k miles but the status did not change. How long does it usually take for the status to updated to Gold?

Hi i attained silver status, but doesn't look like I'm going to be able to hit gold in the one year window from when i became silver... assuming i were to hit 20,000 miles after the one year window, that wouldn't make me gold, correct? thanx so much

Exactly, the first 4k never expire. Even better... It goes by "transaction". i.e. If you have 3,900 miles, and then get silver by taking a flight of 6000 miles, then that entire last flight doesn't expire as well - meaning you'll have 9,900 miles that don't expire, not just 4,000.

Without activity it would expire.

i'm a aegean gold member for a few month now, had one of those cheap tickets to Israel in January with US Air, classes N and W. got full points for both and became gold. even though N does not accrue miles as per the aegean webpage.

however now when i check my balance on aegean i cant see that whole flight on my activities at all (both ways), and i'm missing all those miles, but it still shows that i have gold status. (i flew the whole trip, didn't drop the last leg)
my wife who had the same tickets still has hers on her account,

now shall i call them to complain and try and get back those miles or will i risk losing my status if they will not give me back my N class miles and take away my gold?

thanks!

US Airways tried to claw back a lot of people's miles for those flights, and it's been pretty much impossible to fight with them. So don't attract any undue attention. If you somehow managed not to lose your Gold status, count your blessings and move on.

Granted, you say you flew the last leg, but much better not to take a chance.
