Any disadvantage with A3? Once *G is achieved how easy or difficult is itto retain the same? I read somewhere that converting A3 award miles to award flights / upgrades is difficult as they don't have an online system and one has to call them in Greece. is that true?
many thanks for your help and guidance............Shailendra Bansal
yes, you have to call greece. the status lasts for 3 years as long as your account remains active (you credit at least a flight per a certain period of time - either 6 months or a year, I don't remember)
I personally use A3, and I have had no issues with them. Communication over email has been proffessional, and the greek call center has low wait times and is efficient at booking reward tickets. reward levels are ok.
TK, AC, and OZ have credit cards in some parts of the world, so if you are into that kind of stuff and it is available in your country, you should keep that in mind.
