I’m Aeroplan 35K. Tried to sign up for Safar membership yesterday but it wouldn’t take a Canadian postal code. Today I tried again, changing country to Turkey and using a 5 numeric digits as postal code. That worked to create a Safar membership. Then I changed my country in the Safar profile to Canada. Still wouldn’t allow for Canadian postal code though.
Then tried to status match Aeroplan 35K and got the following message: “Important Note: Gold Status Match is no longer available. If you proceed, you will be applying for Silver Safar Flyer status.”
I don’t feel it is worth paying for OneWorld Ruby. So didn’t bother doing the match. The deal is dead as far as I’m concerned.
Just got confirmation of E35K to Gold today. I waited until late night on the West Coast to apply which was easier on their system.
It certainly feels nice to have options after being joined at the hip with all the Air Canada focused points and credit action over the last 2 years.
When did toy apply and how long did your approval take?
Applied Wed 10.30pm PDT and approved Friday 8am
Update: 10:45 EST / After getting the Air Maroc card using the above suggestions: “Important Note: Gold Status Match is no longer available. If you proceed, you will be applying for Silver Safar Flyer status.”
No surprise, after the amount of hype blogs gave the promo, lol.
Got it to work! I used a US address (24/7 Parcel). Had to use a VPN with it set to the UAE and used internet explorer. Some of the boxes that you have to fill out weren’t working properly in internet explorer so I fiddled around with them. Ended up making my nationality Afghan because of the boxes glitching which I changed afterwards lol. Took a few tries. Good luck!
Can you change address etc after the fact in your profile?
Can you chance address etc after the fact in your profile?
Yes you can. It still doesn’t let you put in a Canadian postal code. My status match was approved with differing addresses between my royal air Maroc and air canada accounts.
Cheers thanks! What Aeroplan status did you match and which did Maroc give you?
Also, I don’t have UAE in my VPN, damn.
Can I accrue miles to another program, say Alaska, while using RAM Saphire benefits, or would I have to accrue miles to RAM?
You can try including your Alaska frequent flyer number on your reservation, and simply flashing your Safar Flyer Gold card at the lounge to gain access.
This might not work for things like checked bags though. In that case, one potential play is to include your Safar Flyer Gold status on the reservation at first, use the benefits, and then ask a gate agent or lounge agent to change the frequent flyer number just before departure.
Its basically busted at the moment, probably due to the volume. Trying to call them at the canadian number is useless, and the USA line just goes dead.
David found a solution and posted to Facebook. Input Turkey as nationality and country. Zip only takes 5 numbers. You can edit these to your Canadian credentials afterwards. 35K status request approved minutes after applying. Now just waiting for it to update in account!
tried it with VPN to turkey, but still doesnt work unfortunately
no luck on my end, still getting error code, also they don’t allow letters for postal code
Keep getting an error code. Anyone able to signup to Safar flyer?
For some reason I keep getting an error code. Anyone find a workaround?
For whatever reason it’s not accepting my postcode as valid or any other for that matter. Yet if I type in a zip code it allows it. Weird.
