Did nobody read the website where it says the following right underneath the temporary card? Isn't this the answer to our questions (you don't get it until you fly 5 flights)? If I'm missing something please tell me, I would like a physical card as well.

You can use this card until you complete your fifth flight.

That's what it said before upgrade to your new status too and airlines usually waive the 'you must fly x amount of times' requirement for getting a plastic for status matched cards.

I noticed that as well but assume it was meant only for the base member card and that they'll send a physical card for Gold or Diamond status. Out of all the status matches I've seen before (both Hotel and Airline), the only one that I recall who doesn't send a card until you credit a flight is TK. (I've never used the TK one but that's what I recall reading in the thread)

Used Amigo Gold last wednesday to get access to United Club at Seattle, I was told that I was the first person there to use Amigo gold to get access.

I see you're a Gold collector.

My iPhone is also gold

The reason is that I like to spread status rather than get the top one.

The gold status gets me the alliance top tier status resulting in wide range of lounge access.

Hi guys,

im new to the avianca/amigo status match and I got some questions about it.

1.) I got matched to Diamond - will I receive a plastic card or should I use the print card? When I get a plastic - how long does it take to ship to me?

2.) I heard that some or almost all got problems to get the *G on your Ticket. Is that fixed or is there a tutorial to fix that? Because maybe you get some problems at the lounge without any *G on ticket or a real plastic card..

Thanks!!

1. No one has a physical card and according to website it requires 5 flights in order for them to ship out card.

2. No idea. You should be able to add your Amigo number to a reservation if its option on the website you are booking with. If already booked with UA you will probably have to wait until check-in to apply new Amigo number or call them. I haven't tested this but will in the coming months.

LH didn't have any problems with displaying *G on my BP, they still wanted to see some sort of card for the lounge access. Print out from the webpage worked fine.

I heard this 5 flights requierement is only for the normal members + classic members card, but not for the gold / diamond.

Not sure what you're asking.

LH system (well, at least the reservation management part of it, the check-in not so much) "knows" about Amigo:



so I just selected the appropriate option, filled in my FF# and then this was on my BP:

Thoughts?
Do you know a site where you can create custom passbook files?

No, but I know how to read/write the format. The .pkpass files are just .zip archives with few .json files in them, it's very readable.
