Hi,
I tried status match with EY and received the following email

Etihad Guest Number: 103xxxxxxxx

All considerations of this nature are managed by our local sales representatives who will sponsor your tier upgrade following an evaluation of your request. We therefore request you to please contact your nearest local Etihad office in order to explore the possibility of a Tier status match.

Please ensure that you keep on hand a copy of your valid membership card with the other frequent flyer programme along with a copy of the latest statement which clearly indicates your current Tier level and send your Etihad Guest number to our staff for reference.

Thank you once again for your valuable support and loyalty to Etihad Guest.

You can also visit our website www.etihadguest.com where you will find our terms and conditions of the Etihad Guest programme..

Should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us

Yours Sincerely,
Did you do the same?

I already provided them with a screenshot of my statement were they can see last flights flown, when the card was updated and the gold status.....however, I didn't provide them with a copy of the card as I didn't receive it yet.

Any suggest?
Where I can find the nearest local etihad office?

No luck with KLM. Sent a request to China Air, so hopefully that goes through.

Aegean doesn't offer status match and you would need to fly 20k before nov 24 if you wanna gold with the actual rules. Afterwards it's more difficult.

Otherwise there is TK with offers *g status match...

I've had little luck, but good to know about turkish.

For anyone trying to get status match with Turkish, follow this link https://www4.thy.com/customercontact/?lang=en . For "feedback category" choose "Miles and smiles program" , for "feedback type" choose "request", for "feedback subject" choose "Other" then fill out the details. I tried other subjects but got no response after over 6 weeks each, then tried this, and got matched 3 weeks later. (Upload copies of card and recent flight activities.)

Yes.

Even though i'm *A gold with Aegean, the main benefit with Turkish Gold is the 2 free upgrades a year to business.

Elite Plus members get 2 free upgrade vouchers per year, Elite members (*G matched status) don't.
