Star Gold status for only 20,000 miles with Aegean

[jjpb3]

I just registered for A3 membership too, and want to earn tier miles on A3 while crediting award miles to KF.

It doesn't work that way. Except for PPS, status and award miles must credit to the same FFP.

[ginkoka]

there are 2 FFP number fields, FQTS and FQTV, 1 for mileage accrual, 1 for status

Wow I never knew that. Just in case, may I know which field refers to which? some check-in counter agents can be blur, or act blur!

well thats not true. on the past 4 flights that i have in the last 2 months, all got credited within 1-2 days after my flights.

they did not reply direct email. if you filled the form, they will reply within 1-2 days

Again, good for you if that's the case. Great so it does work actually. However, saying it is not true assumes you know exactly the status of those mileage claims and I highly doubt that. I would recommend a bit more caution when replying before it sounds like you are accusing other posters of lying.

We all just share experiences here and these are my (& my friends) experiences. Out of 11 flights taken, 4 posted right away, 4 more posted after submitting the form (some claims needed to be submitted twice) and 3 were pending for almost 8 weeks and needed to be repeatedly escalated.

Maybe things have improved over the months and that would be great news.

Just thank the heavenly bodies that your mileage credited okay and that your status already refelects. I know quite a few folks trying out Aegan for an easy *G and they are having a heck of a time with getting proper mileage credits and any answer at all from A3.

I managed to become A3 BLUE member which is a *Silver last month after my 1 round TPE flights. Until now I have not received the card. So I asked them. I got answer that they will only send my card end of April although I have reached the BLUE status early Feb.

Also I notice on my last week flight I saw A3 *S already printed on my boarding pass.

Why so inefficient hor... Just sending card. By end of April, I may reach their gold liao

Thanks fone. I think in my case I want both status and mileage to be accrued in TG ROP (since I would like also to work toward TG ROP Gold also). But since Aegean is easier to achieve Gold, I will be qualify faster and make use of the benefit while I am working on TG ROP (which I guess I need the status right).

Does it make sense.....

I did that with asiana (requiring 45k I think) and have *gold till 2013 and remaining KF silver all these while

[lingua101]

You can either leave your TG ROP number there and just present your *G card for the benefits or have them enter both, like how people can accrue PPS value and put miles in another program (there are 2 FFP number fields, FQTS and FQTV, 1 for mileage accrual, 1 for status). I did the former previously, but only for lounge access. Had the latter done for me once too (had UA status for economy plus access but miles going to Krisflyer), but found it too troublesome talking to the UA customer service, just booked with UA number to preselect the economy plus seat, and changed to Krisflyer number upon self check in.

Yes.

Can advise how should I do it? So far I only know just to give TG ROP number only. How to tell them I want to split. I will be traveling on SQ most of time

[9V-JKL]

Yes.

[lingua101]

What I mean, normally a Frequent Flyer number will be printed on boarding pass. Assuming this is will be my Aegean FF Gold which mean Star Gold. Then I will earn the flight miles into Aegean FF and also enjoy the benefit as Star Gold (i.e lounge, priority bag).

But, I want my miles to be credited to TG ROP (which is not gold yet), but I want to enjoy the benefit of StarGold which I can using the Aegean FF.

Is this possible?

[SilverChris]

I am under impression you can only use that benefit if the FF Program is printed on the boarding pass (which means you will also get the point on that program).

I guess I am wrong

[lingua101]

Yes of course, that's the benefit of *A.

[SilverChris]

Guys, once someone get the *Gold status from Aegaen, is it possible to use the benefit and claim the points on other program says TG or SQ?

Yes of course, that's the benefit of *A.
