It's just back to the days of old. Having to chase and chase for flights to be added!!

I filled in the missing points form for 3 flights a while back, GLA-DUB, DUB-NCL, NCL-DUB, I then got the avios & Tier Credits for the NCL flights last week, but still waiting on the GLA to come in (and put me within a flight of Silver status, which ill do next week)

Missing flights points won't go into your account until 2017 Q3/4!!

Think that is a worst case scenario..I've been credited avios and tier points for missing trips in last week or so. (Including a gla to dub sector)

I went to Sakhalin via London and Seoul the last time and i have to say it was great dealing with decent airlines!

Now i had to fly EI 2 weeks ago and surprise surprise my points never went into my account, so i emailed EI and again surprise surprise.... No reply! Thanlfully ill be flying BA, Korean and Asiana again next week to Sakhalin. i can add my Korean points to my Aeroflot too. So much win!!

I'm about to qualify for gold status with Emirates. They've got a great web page that shows exactly how many points you've got, how many you'll get from upcoming bookings, and when the old tier points expire (it's a rolling thirteen month window). It's a great system and a breath of fresh air after the flustercuck that is the EI scheme.

I am taking a flight with Cathay Pacific next month but it only allows me get points on the Gold Circle Club rather than Aer Club

will I end up with them in due course if I use the Gold Circle Number?

Noxegon

Given that EI can't manage to award points for their own flights half the time I really wouldn't hold your breath.

Use the AerClub No if possible but you won't be getting any partner flights credited anytime soon according to their missing flights page

You might be better off opening a BA or Iberia account and crediting it to that. You can then transfer the Avios into your Aer Lingus account using the "Combine My Avios" option on avios.com.

Won't make half as much Avios doing this though unless your flying business

Not true. Iberia gives the same Avios as Aer Lingus for Cathay economy. BA varies on booking class (sometimes better, sometimes worse).

AndyBoBandy

Has anyone registered their credit card with Avios for use with Argos in store? (Purchasing not via the Avios e store?)

I flew return to the US with Aer Lingus business class couple of weeks ago. Does anybody know is it possible to add Aer Club number now and claim the points after a trip has been taken?

Yes, they usually allow retrospective claims to go back 3 months (providing you were a member of Aer Club at the time of the flight),

Fill in the missing flights form and wait a few months/years and you might see something happen!

It is true, look the website. You will want to be flying a very high booking class to get the equivalent Avios and plus if your AerClub status you won't get any bonus Avios so like I previously said in very rare circumstances (flying business etc) you won't get nearly as enough Avios

The information is plain to see on the Aer Lingus, BA and Iberia websites. Go argue with them

And AerClub tier bonuses apparently apply to Aer Lingus flights only.

I'll let the poster who asked the question do his own research and decide.

Why would you even bother...?
Have a read back through all fifty three pages of this thread before deciding if you really want to go down that road...

From my recent trip to AMS (actually flew out to BRU, due to EI606 cancelled thanks to Storm Doris) 23rd - 27th Feb, the Avios and Tier Credits were applied today for both outward and return legs.

So for my two flights since launch of Aerclub the credits have applied correctly. I must be one of the lucky ones

Only seven more single flights to go before I get Silver Status.

Well that is open to some debate as several posters on here - which no doubt you are well aware of - have claimed that they haven't received Avios or Tier credits for flights taken since the launch. Hence the reasoning for my post.

Sadly with the way EI botched up the launch and pissed off so many existing GC members you have to expect the worst outcome with Aerclub at the moment.

I booked my first EI flight in months last night by necessity as there was no other option for the route I needed.

It told me my login for AerClub was wrong. I went through the password reset procedure, confirmed a new password, and and tried to log in again - twice. On both occasions it told me that my new password was wrong.

I eventually gave up and entered my British Airways number manually. Having thought about it since it's probably a better option for me as I'm not likely to get close to AerClub status with my current usage pattern.

Well as a BA member not all booking classes are eligible for earn on Aer Lingus so you might not get any reward regardless.

If it's an automated process how come so many flights are falling through the cracks?

Human error in either people not inputting their number or inputting it incorrectly.

And when it fails to happen when your tickets were booked with you logged in aerlingus.com and hence the number entered automatically, why does it fail?

Because it does, frequently.
