Blue Membership
Hey all,
I am new here. I just got 4200 miles in my A3 account (including 1000 miles sign-up bonus), am I qualified to get a Blue membership? So far I haven't see any blue membership in my account.
And Being a blue membership, the miles will still be expired in one year?

How long has it been? You need to wait 24 hours after you reached 4,000 miles.
Also note, the miles need to be tier miles. Award miles do not count.
The tier miles will expire after one year. The award miles will remain. Tier miles are only used to determine level in the program (white, blue, or gold).

No. You need to accumulate 4,000 miles (sign-up and/or flight miles) within a period of 12 months to get Blue status.
Any other miles (credit card, hotel, car, etc.) do not count.
Once you have 4,000 miles within 12 months, it takes 1-3 days for the upgrade to occur on A3's systems.

But you can always print your statement. This works with every non-narrow-minded lounge dragon.
It is the case but strangely enough there are still people out there who want to use the miles for an award, aren't there?
If you credit one flight to your A3 account every 2 years, then you will maintain the Blue membership, even though the miles will expire. The tier miles you earn after reaching Blue are only useful for reaching Gold.
