Also, when you give a statement of your miles, do you include this current year, or for the past year as well?

Can I email the documents instead of uploading it? If yes, does anybody the email address? If not, can I use the steps listed in this link? :

Again, thank you so much! Any help is much appreciated!

With TK I'd suggest a scan of the card and screenshot of your online account showing the status also.

The only way to submit to them is via their online form - I find it best to use Internet Explorer for that as it seems rather buggy (well, more buggy!) in other browsers.

Thanks. When does the status end?

Hello there,

if I get Aegean Gold status (*A) can I match it with other airlines?
If yes, with which one?

Thanks

Hello,

I matched my Aegean Gold Card with Turkish, China Airlines and Etihad (Etihad was difficult to get though).

Many thanks m8
I just need to make my mileage run so

One question, but TK is not already *A?
What's the meaning of getting matched the status?

Regards

I am not sure Aegean will provide long term gold status for ever. With TK, one can quite easily get 4 years Elite membership starting from the upgrade date.
Combining A3 and TK, I am sure to remain Star Alliance Gold for the 3 coming years.

As for China Airlines, it will enable me to get access to Air France lounges (I am based in Paris)

Should be....there is no expiry date in their T&C except to do at least one qualifying flight in 36 months.

TK status match is for 2 years.

If you credit 25000 miles within the 1st year, Elite status will be extended 2 years.

I have credited 24 485 miles so far. With some LH and OS flights coming up soon, I should qualify for a 2 years extension.

But they do reserve the right to change the terms at any time

Realistically I agree it won't continue like this long term so enjoy it while you can.

for those who've requested and received the match from China Airlines, how long did it take before you saw the change in your online profile? I requested a match about 10 days ago from TK and nothing has been updated. Just wondering when I should re-send the request...
