Registration bonus currently 2000 miles
Not sure if my eyes are deceiving me but I believe not 
Looks like A3 has upped their signup bonus from 1000 to 2000 miles! For those who have yet to sign up, now could be a good time to do so ^
I'm not sure if all 2000 are tier miles and also not sure how long they'll keep it at 2000, I couldn't find any info on the site.

Just saw this elsewhere and decided it was as good a time as any to start making the move. Points posted instantly!
Now I guess I need to find a way to make sure my upcoming trip all gets booked into something A3-earning instead of AP. But some creative routings should fix that right up. Might be able to hit Blue in one go now.
Funny enough that I was just talking about this yesterday with a coworker who's new to the game and I was torn between sending him here or over to TK.

Well, I just signed up as I make at least 2 LHR-LCA trips per year, normally on BA.
I have heard good things about Aegean so might give them a go next time if the price is right!
2,000 miles is certainly a good start, it's a shame there are no real earning opportunities for UK members, however I do like the Amathus, it's an excellent hotel, though I don't think we will spend enough there to earn a free flight for a while! Normally I stay at Le Meridien and earn SPG points (and get an upgrade too
).
If there was a Visa card for the UK or an eStore it would be nice.
Will be interesting to see if they send out any special offers now I'm part of the club
Just thinking about the name of the program, it does sound a bit funny if you say it in a Greek accent, Bonous in Greek means Pains, so now I'm a member of Miles&Pains

For times when you aren't staying at a Le Meridien: the A3 programme is affiliated with Booking.com. To earn points, you need to book through the A3 website (same prices, same everything) and the rate is 2 points per 1 Euro spent. Meaning you can earn on virtually any hotel - I recently earned A3 points from staying at a little guesthouse in Lithuania ^

I still think it sounds funny
Booking the Amathus via booking.com seems like a good double dip.
I doubt I will use it for much more as I prefer to take advantage of SPG and Hilton Gold benefits which come as freebies with my Amex card.
