Getting to Silver
So reading a lot of threads, it seems I'm still a long way off from getting anywhere near where you a lot of you guys.
Ironically, i'm actually nearly at a place where I won't be blue, and I've only flown BMI once, the rest has all been code share (or AMEX miles). Anyway, I'm on 11605 status miles and am scheduled to do a return LHR YYC in April, the question I've got is will that 1st flight get me to silver on its own, I'm eager not to lose any silver miles if I get somewhere :). Thanks in advance guys,keep on doing what you're doing on this forum, it's great. |
Impossible to answer as you don't say which airline you're flying, what class of service and/or which fare bucket you're booked in.

If you mean the bonus destiation miles then you'll have to wait a bit longer to get them :(, but its only 1000 or so which you can buy if it was make or break for a redemption. |
Sorry, you're right.. Crucial piece of info missed :. It's economy on Air Canada Booking Class L

I thought I'd double-check...:eek: seems crazy to miss it by short a margin, right. I'll be doing a return, but thought that the status miles will disappear when I go to silver, so was eager try and make it on that first flight. Presumably you mean Silver benefits here. I'm not sure there are any on AC itself: just about the only benefit for *S is from the 'home' programme's lounges.

Thanks EsherFlyer CAZ, you have put my mind at ease. Shame I can't get the silver sooner, but hey ho, that's the way it rolls I guess, would be good to earn more miles, always handy :)
Incidentally looked at L in both BMI and *A and wow- 4 x as much on star alliance is just crazy |
I don't think it matters much whether you get to silver before or after your flight, because DC*S is worth a whole pile of nothing when you're flying AC*.
*Well, an extra thousand destinations miles or so. |
