Dear Mr _________,
topbonus filed for insolvency today.
This unfortunate development follows airberlin's decision last week to file for insolvency.
Given airberlin's current situation and the consequential impact on the frequent flyer program, topbonus was left with no other option.

The earning and redemption of miles remain suspended.
The account access to review your profile and miles balances and your topbonus membership remain valid.

We will keep you informed about further proceedings.

More information can be found here in our FAQs.
Kind regards,

Anton Lill
Managing Director
topbonus Ltd.

No more redemptions on AirBerlin using Avios??

Doesn't say that anywhere. That's a totally different issue and not directly related to topbonus, but rather to the AirBerlin situation as a whole.

How about oneworld through air berlin? Would be annoying if I'd lose my benefits. Who matches AB (aside for AS)

Seems to be stopping TXL not DUS-JFK.

Seems to be stopping TXL not DUS-JFK.

Which is a shame, TXL connection was excellent for getting to Chabad for Mikvah/Davening. Very few airports are such a short commute by excellent public transportation to shul/mikvah.

[travel agent]

[shmebeble]

do they have to refund me?

[travel agent]

they HAVE, but they will not, you can try to dispute with the cc

[elimmm]

is there a questionable outcome for cc dispute? i'd think its an easy win!

[shulemw]

@TravelAgent
Why writing nonsense. they gave a new flight for everyone that their flight was cancelled

I booked a refundable ticket with airberlin on July 28, now i would like to get refunded and it seems like airberlin isnt refunding anyone

ALL tickets issued before/on August 11th, are non-refundable, despite what the tariff rules may indicate.

Any ideas how i can get my money back anyway?
