Signing bonus: Aegean Airlines Miles&Bonus

Aegean Airlines Miles&Bonus, a Star Alliance Member, is offering 2,000 miles for joining their rewards program.   With 2,000 miles you’re half way to earning Blue status, which is the equivalent of Silver Status on Star Alliance (you only need to acquire 4,000 miles within 12 months).   However, the real value to the Aegean program is once you have qualified for Blue Status, you only need to accumulate 16,000 more miles within a year to achieve Gold Status.  Gold Status allows you priority check-in (you can check in at the business and first class counters, regardless of the class flown); extra baggage allowance (an additional 20 kg/44 pounds where the weight concept applies, or one additional piece of luggage where the piece concept applies);priority baggage handling (your bags get priority treatment and are among the first to be unloaded); and most importantly, access to more than 970 Star Alliance lounges worldwide for you and a travel companion when you travel with any member airline, regardless of the class of travel.

A unique aspect of achieving status on Aegean Airline is that as long as your account is active, you do not need to re-qualify each year!   To sign up, click here.
