Edit: I guess the challenge is still available but the end date is set at Dec 23rd.

Mine turned Gold after about three days.

Any idea how long it takes for the physical card to arrive?

I sent my request a week ago with my AZ status, haven't heard anything yet, but I guess I will eventually get 'not in their region' reply.
*Better off matching to TK* (not matching tk to copa)

Any airlines that might status match DL Diamond currently? I will be losing my status and interested in getting something out of it. Preferrably an airline that services Australia. Thanks

Depends on how you view the question I suppose. I view it as the first two are Star Alliance, which is served by United and Singapore to Aus. The latter being Oneworld which is served by Qantas and BA to Aus.

Thanks. An interesting trio! Doubt I will be on their metal anytime soon, but I will look into what status with these airlines might offer. I have some Air NZ flights coming up, and Star Alliance Gold would be handy.

Copa did not even bother responding to the email sent by the Mrs so either they are inundated with emails or dont care

I have platinum status with United till Dec 2016, I probably will reduce my flying activities for year 2016, thus will lose my status with United.

I was wondering, when will be the good time for me to request for status match to Turkish Airlines so I can maintain a *A gold status ?

The sooner the better : no one knows when TK will stop matching.

Hi

I'm a bit new to this status match stuff, but have successfully matched Cathay Gold to Gulf Air and then Gulf Air to Etihad Gold.

As the Cathay Gold has expired im trying to get back to One World. I see AB have a match but only if you live in Germany.

Is there any other OW that might match, or any other airlines currently matching that are worth doing? I don't have a Star Alliance yet.
