I was very happy to receive the email today too, though it looks like I won't benefit for as long as my expiry was 31/12/20. Just need to be able to go somewhere now to requalify for 22.

I guess I am a not so happy camper, all my friends got the extension and I did not 😡
Why not extend all? We all had to suffer though the same crappy year!

Also got the 12 month extension as well (05/2021 expiry), which hopefully allows a chance go to Greece Q3/Q4 🙌
Because right now, the barriers to travel is WAY too high as a "Third Country National" 😭

Wow - I had a 10 day window of opportunity between the (theoretical) lifting of restrictions and my GOld Expiry date date to get 1100 miles/4 Flights and was going to book a return trip this weekend....
Now Mrs Fr is going to be very upset.... I might book anyway (but maybe with a little less risky dates).
Thank you Aegean!

And still I'm seeing accounts where the A3*G status is set to expire in Q4 2021 even for A3*G members who flew enough in Q1 and/or Q2 2020 to keep A3*G status into 2021 but have received nothing more -- in terms of status retention relaxation standards -- than a single six-month extension in the A3*G status.
Why the foot-dragging from Aegean on this kind of thing? They could have easily sent out an email to all Aegean elites to note that everyone is getting at least a 12 month extension. It seems bizarre that there are those who met A3*G qualification requirements the traditional flying way with Q1 and/or Q2 2020 flights who only will have gotten a six month status extension when others will have gotten 12 months or way more of a status extension from A3.

It was only a few weeks ago they emailed all elites and crashed the website for a day. Maybe they've learnt from that and are phasing emails?

I had requalified last year and have an expiry 04/22. No email yet.
I'd find it really bad show that everyone else gets 12 extra months when I was able to requalify last year but am presently in no position to do so for the next year, because the current local law has made it pretty much impossible for me to return from abroad.
I really think Aegean could have given 12 months extra to everyone.

You've got company in a way. Are you among those in the kind of position I refer to below?
Of the above accounts which are scheduled to have A3*G expire in Q4 2021, no emails have been received from Aegean about any further extension.
