Here is the link for the new Qantas (one world) status match promotion which is on until 9th March. They seem to be matching all gold cards, except for Emirates. Only valid for NZ residents, although you may find a way to receive it...

Thanks for posting this, benberg2013. Too bad that this comes at the same time as the AB promotion. Is it too much to ask the OW carriers to coordinate their respective status match campaigns, at a rhythm of one per year...

It's about time for *A and SkyTeam carriers to join the party...

Well for *A we have TK (and United trial for 90 days) albeit they don't match all golds (TK need OWE and Skyteam Elite+ and *A gold)

But I agree - with skyteam - its very hard to find a skyteam member airline to give out a match. Except maybe Delta which gives 90 day trials to United Golds, and some other America-based airlines. (Although with my experience I received gold as a match from United, which I then tried to match to Delta, but they saw I had no flights credited to united, so they declined.)

I tried, but they need you to buy one flight with them, and that's not on the plan any time soon...

BTW, Since I do travel for work, can I do status challenge with AA. I kind of recall reading somewhere that you get Gold status during the challenge. But not sure if Gold status give me the extra weight that I am looking for. I do have TK*G that expire in 2017 and I am also AC*G (my main program).
You do get Gold status during the challenge, but as that's only OW Silver it won't likely help you match to anyone else.

If you're traveling in Christmas you have some time-- I'd just match your *A to Gulf and use that to match to another OW carrier like Air Berlin.

I've made it now, using my TK Gold.. I'm curious, before to request it I've changed my address to the local embassy in Wellington, could I become Gold with Qantas then later re-change to my real address in Italy?
