This is a challenge, not a match.

Had sent AZ Gold & AB Gold card to Avianca Brazil and only received...Star Alliance Silver. Sent a second mail asking why I didn't get Gold with a copy of my EY Gold card. Got a reply one week later with Star Gold status valid until 03/17... ^

Its still odd that some get diamond, others gold, and the rest silver with AZ gold 😊

BUT it is good that they respond to emails, unlike AZ

I suppose it depends a lot on who is answering the emails, I very much doubt the workers answering the emails have as much exposure to FFPs as the standard Flyertalk user.

My wife asked AZ for a match from Qantas Platinum One and received Ulisse. The only logic I can see is that the Platinum One card is silver in colour.

Avianca Brazil are probably pretty similar. If you don't get what you want, just ask politely with an explanation of why you think they are wrong. Chances are this will get the request looked at by a supervisor.

Got my wife's A3 silver matched to Amigo Gold. Sent through the email on 28 Oct, got response from Avianca on 23 Nov. However on Avianca website, still showing as bronze card.

Avianca in Brazil GOLD Status!

Used my LANPASS Comodoro elite card to get successfully matched to Avianca Brazil GOLD. Star Gold status is through till March 2017!

This is my timeline of events;

2nd Nov: Sent e-mail requesting status match with only front and back of elite card.
27th Nov: Received confirmation of status match to GOLD.

Pretty timely process but at least they matched!!! Also, on Avianca website, it shows me as Gold member.

Does anyone know normally how long this gold status is recognised in the Star Alliance system? I have a few *A flights coming up and I don't think print out might be accepted to get benefits and lounge access...

Thanks,

I want to know how everyone created their Avianca Amigo account. I can't get into my account, it seems locked up. I never seemed to make it pass the new account process.....

Don't use google chrome page translation thingy, just fill it out in portuguese copy-pasting names of fields you're not sure into translate.google.com.

Still waiting for my BA Silver card to arrive in the post, so I've sent a screenshot of my BAEC account to the Avianca status match.

Keeping fingers crossed...

Friend told me that Copa is now asking for a proof of one flight with them before agreeing to match.
