I called Aegean, the agent said that the miles and bonus department is now closed, but he can tell me that he knows there are some changes coming and that they will merge programs with Olympic Airlines.
I also called - the greek office is still open ( 30 210 6261 000)-- was told gold members now will stay gold for a year and will be down graded after the year is up --Aegean will have 3 levels vs. two now -- they will e/m the info in about a month -as I understand you will need "more" to become and keep gold ,sounds like the big party is over --I assume since Aegean is a regional player it still may be easier to get gold then a UA etc
In greece they have a local bank that offers a credit card that gives 5k sign up --even with that card it does not work for me as i uses points all the time to travel
as far as Olympic Aegean bought them about 2 years ago any that had Olympic miles b4 they were bought lost them
