What on earth does this have to do with Citi?

They aren't an automatic transfer to the airline. Log in to your star alliance rewards account - that's where they'll be accumulating and…

Actually completely disagree with you both of the name being misleading. Their status levels have been called that for years and it's based…

Datapoints from me: Approved 27 May 50k Status updated in Air Canada app about 17 July (maybe a week after i actually hit $4k spend) Status…

used fuz31 mine: https://wn.nr/UXPFPCX

that would work, also by hotel stays and car rentals. I think either my hertz or avis account has my American airlines number in it so i…

yes but they can't be moved from one program to another

you should get everything with your status. There's a way to say i want the points to go to this program and i want the status benefits…

How you 'purchased' the ticket has no impact on lounge access

I haven't done it myself but when i log in i have a chosen airlines for status, but in my reading of it i can convert points to other…

yeah but once theyre in your air canada account, they stay there

you can't do anything with the points sitting in your star alliance rewards account. your only option is to transfer them to an airline. If…

Are you gonna buy the full Priority Pass Prestige membership @$469USD to do this? Spend $50 on a cheap flight to the goldy to get yourself…

What does your online account say?

The 50k point bonus has been over since June (i think you needed to be approved by the 3rd). Since then the offer has just been Air Canada…

$4k spend is the current offer to get gold status. Maybe thats just in first year though, and not ongoing.

have you got the gold status yet? based on posts here it looks like about 2 months post status upgrade for the points.

correct. For the most part airlines won't allow you to transfer miles between programs. Velocity to Krisflyer being an exception

Basically the same thing. Aeroplan 50k Status gives you Star Alliance Gold status, with Star Alliance Gold benefits across Star Alliance…

The offer was for 50k status AND 50k points, but the points offer ended early June

Given the amount of cities they're trying to hit, and the amount of travel days required, they wont even get 2 full days in all of the…

Thats ALOT of cities across a VERY large area in 16 days, have you looked at a map? Or at least how long it's going to take you to travel…

I haven't, but i don't know how much luck you'd get. Most stores won't ship overseas and even if gift cards were an option, probably only…

I guess thats an option for petpet, but what kinda timeframes did you go through between getting the status and then the points. Looking at…

Based on this, seems to be accurate https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/aeroplan/partners.html#/

Glad at least it got sorted in the end but annoying nevertheless. Why hasn't Star Alliance Gold been useful?

Umm not quite... maybe take another look at the link you posted.

if you go with Air canada status? No. Lounge only

no worries. any other questions just let me know
