First emailed 31 Mar, followed up 14 Apr. Didn't get a response to either email and I'm still Gulf Air Blue. I guess they don't want my business.

Someone told me there were some national holidays during the time, so it might explain the reason for taking so long.

Does anyone know any updates regarding Status Match at China Airlines? I have already sent an e-mail with the request, but have not heard back from them. How quickly do they usually respond? I have a CA flight in two weeks and would like to be able to use the lounge at airport.

China airlines status match
You'll find updated information on statusmatcher.com
My idea is that China airlines does not match as easily as before and it takes some time. 3-4 weeks in my own case.

so I applied to UA Mileage Plus for a status challenge as I know they don't match outright and I got the confirmation email saying i'd received the trial status upgrade. as i'm due to fly in the next 24hrs on *A I went to do the online check in only to find that my profile does not reflect my supposedly matched status
I called Mileage Plus and they say they cant see anything on their end yet they were the ones who sent me email confirmation in the first place!! now I've had to forward the email (as a .jpeg attachment) to try and prove my case in the hopes that they'll pull their finger out in time for me to get on the flight tomorrow and enjoy the supposed benefits!!
needless to say, if you're going to do the status challenge with UA, make sure you've actually got the status reflecting in your account and don't rely on the email they send confirming!!

I applied about 2 1/2 weeks ago by email and have heard nothing.
Is there another viable Skyteam airline for a status match? I'm basically looking for lounge access and perhaps better coach seat assignments. I have the necessary status with Star and Oneworld, but nothing with Skyteam.

That sounds awesome. May I ask how you contacted AB and what documents you submitted?

That's China Airlines? I thought the primary purpose of a status match was to encourage you to switch and try the airline.

As for other Skyteam airlines, AFAIK the only option is DL, but it's a status challenge. I just successfully applied for it and got status for 90 days.
You have to send an email to "service at topbonus.de" with a front and back scan of your current status card. That's it. They accept all non-OW cards and usually reply within 24 hours.

How many miles do you have to fly?
Can be flown also with other members of the alliance or only with DL?
Thanks

You have to fly 12,500 Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) or 15 Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs) on flights operated by Delta or Delta Connection.

Is there currently any fast-track way to gold status on any non-OW airlines? I recall Sky Team used to have a deal where you could take one flight with them to automatically get status but not sure if it's still around.
