The additional award miles that will be offered as a gift, will be automatically credited upon the completion of the miles purchase. In case the additional miles are not credited in your account, please contact AEGEAN's call center at 801 11 20000, national calls within Greece, (+30) 210 6261000 international calls and mobiles, to address your request.
You are not alone in this kind of issue:

The Black Friday sale was sort of messed up. Some of the miles from purchases processed (with receipts emailed too) don't get posted for some reason. Something to watch for because you may have been charged for miles not posted to the account in the amount they should have posted.

For example, I saw an account that had paid 850 EUR in total for miles under the 100% bonus promotion, but the account only got credited for 42,000 miles. All this while the annual purchase limit on the account shows as having been drawn down from 50,000 to 16,000 for the purchases that have only been made during the promotion on Black Friday. So the account should have gotten 68,000 miles but only got 42,000 miles. Weird.

I don't want to imagine how messy this will be to fix. Any suggestions on how to get this kind of issue resolved?
I suspect that this is a bad time of the day and week to try to get this resolved. And if lots of other accounts have this issue -- and now I know about at least 3 such examples where the something went wrong this Black Friday purchase promotion for Aegean miles -- I can only imagine how slow it will be to fix the issue.
