Hi Dan thanks for your great posts, if i transfer 20k membership rewards points to aegean does that qualify me for the gold status ?

It’s now 2013:

does that mean qualifying for gold now means until the end of 2016?

1) I just checked baggage allowance on Air Canada, and the price didn’t change for star alliance silver. (gold shows 3 free bags) did they change the policy?
2) could I accumulate my wifes miles on my status?

@e-foooo: Your "eg" assumption is correct. @acanada: Lol, by minimum they mean that even if the flight is less than 500 miles they will still give you 500 miles.

aegean requires a minimum amount of miles from air canada and others, any idea what this means, and if it applies to each flight segment or if the roundtrip meets the limit is good?

If you credit your miles to Aegean, do your flight legs still earn credit towards elite status on another airline?

eg I fly US Airways and pushing to retain my Silver status. If I use my Aegean # presumably I would get the miles on Aegean and not get the credit for flights on US Air?
Gracias.

@however: you are correct, i would not have my miles with Aegean, just like Malev, can be gone and say goodbye to miles!!!

@Jean M: You can change your FF# online, over the phone, at the airport kiosk, check-in counter, or gate. Just make sure you change it prior to boarding your flight. You can also get retroactive credit, but not if you had a different FF# on your ticket when you fly.

Hey, great post!
If i sign today and dont reach silver within year – I can just start over in a year from now? (I could just open a new ff account and get 1k/2k miles and get another year to earn silver)

Also, I can add my aegean ff number to any *A flight whether its domestic or international?

actually i got it. you don’t sign in to your mileageplus account. let it goes to the next page and select aegean program. silly me.

sorry, i’m still new. how do I earn miles on Aegean? Go to United.com and book using money not miles, then go to Aegean website to “claim air miles”? Thank you.

@Ephraim: You can pay to upgrade the fare class, but I don't beleive a mileage upgrade would work. @Too Lazy To Read All The Comments: Depends on the fare class of the ticket. @Chaim: You need to find out the fare class. @MacDan: Not that I'm aware of. @Kathy: All you need to do is signup for an Aegean number and then provide that number to United or any other Star Alliance carrier online or at the airport.
