seems like she isn't a frequent flyer to begin with. Why fret with gold status if you don't even fly at all for a whole year?

Yes agreed, thanks for your valuable feedback.

That is indeed the case for me. I am actually happy with this, as I don't have that much more travel planned for this year so it's nice to not have to worry about requalification. It also means that any travel I do need to do can be booked based on price and convenience rather than the need to requalify.

irishguy28

Not at all!

It means you are the 133rd person to requalify on this particular date.

(The previous discussion all relates to people with the 24 November date)

gpb_croppers63

Nice theory! Unfortunately, I have a 24th November requalification date too so I stand by my comment that the mystery continues.

I retained my Gold this year few days ago. To my dismay, the qualification date for 2018 is now 23rd November 2018...compare with 24th November 2017, Aegean seems to had took one day away from us....lol...

I will be in Europe from mid-November to mid-December this year. My current gold status expires on 24 November 2017. Between 15-20 November I will fly 4 A3 segments to lock in my status for 2018. 2 questions:

1. Can I safely assume that any A3 flights I take as of 25 November will automatically count for 2019 requalification?
2. Will there be any problems accessing gold benefits, especially lounges, in December before my new Gold card arrives?

Thanks for your help.

ad 1. - sure.
ad 2. - there should be none within the main airports and airlines own lounges. Some contract lounges at secondary airports may not recognize your electronic gold card (app) from get got, but the situation is changing for better every day.

Requalify flight was taken on 28th June.

Received my pack during the past weeks (any time between 27th July to 10th August), not sure which day as I was away for two weeks.

The number is 000203-GRE.

I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but I'm a little confused:
I requalified for Gold late June. Yesterday I got a new card, showing validity until 24/07/2018. However on the website it says, that my "tier has been retained up to 23/11/2018"

Which one is correct now? (July or November 2018?)
(Logical, for me, would have been to get the new card with validity until November 2018.) Thanks.

Requalified on 22/7/17, pack received on 17/8/17, number on the letter 000175 - GRE
Card valid until 9/3/19 (I earned status under the new system)

Hello there,

following scenario where I am unsure:
Currently I am Gold til 05/18.
In order to requalify I am missing 4000 Miles and 4 A3 segments.

Let's say in 10/17 I earn 5000 Miles on another airlines than A3, then fly the 4 A3 segments in 12/17, I understand the 5000 Miles earned in 10/17 will be lost, right?

However if I fly the 4 A3 segements first (let's say in 10/17), I would requalify and my new status would be til 05/19, correct?
I would then fly the 5000 miles on another carrier in 12/17, would this at all count already for requalification to 05/20? Or will everyhting I fly until 05/18 be more or less for nothing (I mean in regard of status, of course I still earn mileage), and it's a better choice to place bookings after 05/18 in order for them to count for requalification to 05/20?

Hope this is not too unclear... Thanks very much!

Whatever you fly until 05/18 will only count towards the status until 05/19. After 05/18, you can start working on requalification until 05/20. Sadly, anything in between completing requalification limits and start of the next tracking period is kinda lost.

Thank you very much, this is what I feared.
