Does Miles&Bonus Comp status from other airlines? (Executive Summary: No)
 
Do they match status? Did anyone do it?

Hi all,

little self-interested question I didn't see answered on this thread: does Aegean comp to Gold? I am currently Freccia Alata Plus (ST ELP) and I'll be flying regularly to Greece starting this month. Would be nice to enjoy the Gold perks without having to wait 20,000 miles (which would be 10 weeks)

thanks,

Pi

I haven't heard of any A3 gold comps, and since it has by far the lowest *G qualification threshold, I doubt it's very likely it will start doing so.

I called them to ask (from BA) and their reply was that BA is not part of *A so they cannot do nothing :D (I am Greek, so the language wasn't a problem). Obviously the agent had never heard anything about status match. That one was 6 months ago, I'll give it a try again.

They don't status match.

Dear Mr. Potakas,



Thank you for communicating with us. Indeed, you are a Member of Miles & Bonus with 1.000 Status Miles accumulated. Unfortunately, it is not plausible to waive the Terms & Conditions of our Loyalty Scheme for a premature upgrade of your account.



Allow us to remind you, finally, that you will be upgraded to Gold Membership as soon as you accrue 20.000 Status Miles in total (or 16.000 within one year after your upgrade to the Blue tier).



Kind regards,

Nice and professional reply,

anyone know if there is a way i can get a statement of activity from Aegean showing my expiry date of Gold benefits?

i need it for a status match :/

i found on the trip i just did that getting the airlines to even realise who aegean was a bit difficult but the number just would not recognise to most airlines and i had to make sure at check in that the number was manually entered as they were claiming it wasnt in the booking (even though it was).

I think we still don't know exactly how status expiry is handled by A3 (=that information is not clearly available and has been discussed here before).

My wish is that we try to draw as little attention as possible to Miles & Bonus so that there will be no pressure from other airlines to change M&B.

In a similar situation I printed the activity statement, highlighted the "Card upgrade" date and wrote a note saying "expires one year from that date" - worked fine for me.

But if I were in Europe it would be ok - its Europe's (German) money that keep them afloat so far ;-)))

anyway, got a response about "status match" - no.
