AI Membership Kit

I was upgraded to AI Silver in Jan but have not yet received the kit yet.

AirBerlin is running a status match [http://euflyer.boardingarea.com/2015...nus-oneworld/]. Without the card this seems impossible.

Any thoughts ?

I joined AI-FR back in 2010, under IC- with an Alpha-Numeric FFP #. I have never received my card.
But that's because I don't know any politicians or anybody at the management level in AI.

Received my *G kit today, 4 baggage tags , 1 membership card and a letter with a line of apology (with reason) for the delay.

Impressed!

Proposed changes in AI Flying returns

Received my kit also yesterday evening. The standard 2 vouchers, 4 tags etc. interestingly the enclosed letter mentions a few upcoming changes in the program.
1. Enrollment of kids from the age of 2 to 12 years
2. minimum of 500 miles for traveling short sectors
3. Family pooling - I think with children
4. Travel points for tier upgrades

The letter mentions that I need 120 travel points or 75000 miles in the next year for tier upgrade to the maharaja club. No mention of how the tier points are calculated though.

Seems a lot of changes is planned but not sure by when they will start implementing.

Got mine yesterday too, with the same content. Guess they have finally started sending the kits.

Reason for the delay mentioned is, they were nto sure if they wanted to send these kits or the ones with QR codes (which they might next year) as they mentioned.

Valid only for domestic flights. I do not think Air India gives voucher valid for international upgrades.

Thanks for the info.

@AI-SBI Visa Signature CC users:
Has anyone got their Tier match request approved recently..? Mine seems to be stuck for a while now.

I had applied for tier match in Feb, and got mine approved in roughly 1 month.
