Thanks for the tip. Let's see if my UA gold gets matched.Originally Posted by tancredi
Success story here as well with my A3 Gold. Sent status match request on March 24th, and two days later I got confirmation that my AB Gold has been approved.
AB efficiency in dealing with this matter makes me want to fly more with them...
I flew AB Y last year ORD-TXL and DUS-RSW. I was singled out for additional screening because one of these is not like the others... Nevertheless, I liked AB and DUS, and look forward to flying them again.
Someone please remind me what that beer was onboard? I'll have to fly again to remember. Was it Bitburger or Warsteiner?

the bonus points is only with AB/Nikki. I thought about banking my AA flights there, but it seems I will have to give up OW/S after 1 year.Originally Posted by jamesclandestine

Well when I tried half a year ago with my aegean gold to try get AB gold, they replied that they would give me silver once I booked my first flight. After 2 months I tried again with TK gold, which they matched, and since then AB have matched countless aegean golds without batting an eyelash, so, in other words, only in the past half year or so have AB become much more easygoing with matching, and I don't think the link posted in the first post in this thread has been on their website that long.Originally Posted by Ghentleman

Sent mail to status match today with photo of A3 Gold card. Got upgraded to topbonus gold in a few hours. Exp date May'31 2016. "Unmatched" experience comparing to other airlines and regular communications and troubleshootings!
Now start to looking for flying them/oneworld for the next 12 months

Greetings,
Trying hard to get a decent OW status - very quick. I am presently posting my miles to QR-privillige club, but this is very time consuming.
I have also thought of using CX-MCP, now that I have landed on airberlin and TOPBONUS.
How would you rate my offer as a SAS EUROBONUS Diamond with 20 year track-record ?

The status match is very fast.
Not sure what kind of question you're asking... I don't know if they'll match you to Platinum... they certainly wouldn't match my [CA] Platinum... gave me Gold instead.
It's okay, though, because I was doing it for the Sixt status that you get with AB Gold.

I got the Classic card about two weeks after signing up and then the Gold card two days after that.

I notice the April matches are getting May 31 expiries. Does that mean that if I wait a few days, I'll get a card that expires at the end of June?
