Do any airlines match TK *Gold Status
I currently have TK Gold Status and will not requalify. My status is expiring in two months. Are there any *A partners that will status match my current TK status?
I think not but thought it worth checking. Apologies if I missed previous threads, I searched and couldn't find anything.

As far as I know, TK is the only *A that status matches within its own alliance. Normally, bonus programs only match from other alliances.
You could try a work around, match your TK *G to another alliance, and then match that status back to another *A-program.

Most airlines doing a status match want your mileage statements as well as your card copy. If you have no supporting activity for the match then may still not be easy going.
NZ used to match other *A members if you could convince them you'd be flying NZ metal frequently, don't know if they still do or not, nor is their Airpoints program free. You do have to be a member before inquiring, so up to you if that's worth joining or not.
