A quick question, and one that I've often wondered about...
I'm sure for a lot of people the possibility of attaining Gold status without flying Aegean is very useful. But what exactly is in this for Aegean if these members don't actually fly with the airline?
Surely Aegean don't make any money from airline miles being credited from other companies, as they have to pay out, in some form or another, when members redeem. And if a member isn't flying on Aegean, then they are not even paying revenue directly to the airline. Can someone explain the logic to this!?
