It means you became gold in the middle of March?

It's interesting to note the difference in the time it took for the card to make it from ATH to SIN. I qualified on 23/3 and received it around 4/5.

Another Datapoint
April 2nd, 2012: Qualifying flight for Gold Status took place with a US Airways flight.

April 8th, 2012: "Card Upgrade" activity on M&B Website logged.

May 17th, 2012: Received M&B Gold Card.

So, for me, 45 days from qualifying flight, for a Gold Card sent to Canada.

Validity also until 12 2015.

Addressing on the cover letter was basically ok, with proper Canadian postal coding, except they put the Postal Code before the city.

Got my card May 16th after qualifying early April. Others have reported that they got theirs two weeks ago (also Sweden)... I thought they only sent the cards in batches once a month.

I've received official clarification from a guy at Miles and Bonus that:

1) Cards are made in batches, and sent out twice a month.
2) Cards expire 3 years after the request to issue the card is made, always in December. (i.e. if you qualify on December 28, 2011, your card expires 12/2014, but if you qualify on January 1, 2012, your card expires 12/2015)

That's good to know. Was going to try to qualify for Gold before then, but since I'm doing some travel now and won't be again till next year, it's not worth it to finish until December. Thanks for that PVDtoDEL

No, no. That's the wrong conclusion you drew from my statement. Qualify as soon as possible, but just remember to "loose your card" in January so they send a new one out

No, to be sure, try to avoid hitting 19,000 miles until January to be sure that you get that extra year on your card. If it goes through in December, there's a good chance that the card will expire one year earlier, at the end of December 2015, not 2016.

As I said, it has absolutely nothing to do with qualification date, just the date a card print is requested (which does occur on the date of your card upgrade).

If you qualify on December 31st and then apply for a "lost card" on January 1st, you will get an extra year of expiry.

Doesn't that seem like a giant loophole that they would eventually have to close?

How long for my A3*G card to arrive? And what to do while waiting?
Gold card finally arrived May 31st. I crossed the threshold on March 2nd and card was mailed out April 4th and arrived in Canada about 2 months after mailing.

Very happy to see it arrive as I have a flight next week and will be enjoying the lounge in YYZ and YHZ very much!!

I've been comp'd gold, so do you mean that i will have gold till 12/2015?? I thought A3 *g only lasts for 1 year...

Also, what is the requalification amount? 16k or 19k or 20k from May 2012-May 2013? It was granted in May 2012.
