Please allow for four to seven days for your membership to be processed. Should you happen to fly in the interim, please remember to keep your original boarding pass and ticket in order to claim your missing miles and sectors.
Soon you will enjoy a number of exclusive benefits including advanced seat reservation and preferred check-in.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard soon.
But I already got a confirmation email in my inbox? Or would I still need to wait 4-7 days before I become a full fledged member?
yes, you need to wait, because they need to create profiles/cards and luggage tags then mail them to you. All this takes some time. But as it says in the email, you will be able to enjoy the benefits if you keep the boarding pass and credit them back, or if you already have an Asiamile number, you can use that in the mean time. It will be the same number, only the note beside it on your Boarding Pass will change from AM to MPC GR. Safe travels
