I flew AB Y last year ORD-TXL and DUS-RSW. I was singled out for additional screening because one of these is not like the others... Nevertheless, I liked AB and DUS, and look forward to flying them again.
Someone please remind me what that beer was onboard? I'll have to fly again to remember. Was it Bitburger or Warsteiner?

the bonus points is only with AB/Nikki. I thought about banking my AA flights there, but it seems I will have to give up OW/S after 1 year.

Sent mail to status match today with photo of A3 Gold card. Got upgraded to topbonus gold in a few hours. Exp date May'31 2016. "Unmatched" experience comparing to other airlines and regular communications and troubleshootings!
Now start to looking for flying them/oneworld for the next 12 months

I notice the April matches are getting May 31 expiries. Does that mean that if I wait a few days, I'll get a card that expires at the end of June?

Status match to airberlin -coming from SK EB Diamond
Greetings,
Trying hard to get a decent OW status - very quick. I am presently posting my miles to QR-privillige club, but this is very time consuming.
I have also thought of using CX-MCP, now that I have landed on airberlin and TOPBONUS.
How would you rate my offer as a SAS EUROBONUS Diamond with 20 year track-record ?

The status match is very fast.
Not sure what kind of question you're asking... I don't know if they'll match you to Platinum... they certainly wouldn't match my [CA] Platinum... gave me Gold instead.
It's okay, though, because I was doing it for the Sixt status that you get with AB Gold.

I got the Classic card about two weeks after signing up and then the Gold card two days after that.
Yeah, should mean exactly that.
