Congratulations to those who kept gold!
I think A3 should be commended both for having a nice scheme and being a great little airline. I would never have flown them had it not been for their Miles&Bonus program but would now willingly connect in ATH for their friendly service and excellent FFP. Read this and weep Lufthansa.

I cover my other miles going from Europe to New Zealand / South Pacific once a year but around Europe A3 for me.

I kept Gold and used to fly lots with LH and LX, not anymore...I can "easily" connect via ATH instead and that covers my 4 A3 flights. Yes do agree with another poster regarding the downgrading of earning miles but A3 now have my custom : a satisfied one at that. I have flown both in Y and J and think its great.

I have flown and earned all the miles, last flights yesterday, but have still been downgraded.
Is anyone else in the same position? At any rate, I am sure that this is a tech glitch that will solve itself once the miles post, just a bit funny since I received some complimentary Silver coupons, and if they then upgrade me back to Gold maybe they will grant me the Gold coupons too

I would be interested to see at my next SKG-ATH how the Gold requalification affected domestic users.
A3 SKG Lounge gets overcrowded mainly on the domestic SKG-ATH route. At times all couch seating, all bar stools, all workstation, all "table" seats were taken and you had people standing as well.
Since it has a separate gate for fast boarding you could tell the majority of lounge access was for the domestic route.
I still remember the days when A3 GOLD had unlimited SKG/ATH lounge access even when flying non Star alliance airlines, nice perk but disappeared "silently" as well.
As for the 50% vouchers nope, did not get any new ones.

Also got downgraded to silver today. Had two flights on TK Nov'22 and Nov'23. First one posted today. Waiting for the last one. That will be enough to requlaify, but who knows how will it happen. Let the fun begin
Noticed strange in my account:
Amount to requalify as Silver seem to be correct, but also has a box next to it, called "Dashboard_How_To_Upgrade_Tier_To_None_Value". 2xxx miles with 4 A3 flights OR 26xxx tier miles with other *G airlines until 29/02/2016.
Completely confusing. Why to upgrade to "None Value", why it's until end of Feb and why so much difference (10x times) between A3 flights and non-A3 flights?

Requalified quite easily this year although not sure about next year, other half is now in the UK
What's about these 50% vouchers?
It's a pitty that lh/lx don't credit that much any more
