Still no card has arrived. My address is practically right next door at Istanbul, Turkey. Should I use the Lost Card Reissue function on the website? I wanted have those luggage tags as well.

Gold card finally arrived in the mail today, with bunch of other mail. I guess the post office has been holding it for a while now.

My Blue card which I got back on 10/2013 expires on 12/2016. I wonder why they issue these with earlier expiry dates, is the 3-year rule going to change?

I was upgraded to Gold on 20 May 2014. However nothing has been received so far in Sydney.

Noticed from this post, some people upgraded to the Gold tier later than me but got their cards earlier than me. Can I assume my card got lost in transit? Shall I contact them to reissue the card?

I'm keen to get the baggage tag.

Need some advice. Thanks in advance.

liveinsydney, imo, it might just take a while more to arrive, would suggest waiting till end-july to call and ask about it. Most other people in Europe and NA would have gotten it earlier probably due to shorter distance for mail

It looks like Aegean decides a date to produce cards for the gold members who qualified in the previous 2 months.
And, the benefit lasts 18 months, not 24 months.
