When NZ Status Match almost all people are given what is described as 'nominated status. Sometimes they issue full status, but only to customers they consider to be very lucrative.
Under 'nominated' status you do not receive the add on benefits, such as the upgrades et al. You also need to qualify in full to continue at that tier the following year as supposed to being able to requalify with 10% less status credits.
This is precisely what happned with my TG*G match. None of the 'extras', and in fact my profile read 'AirNZ Jade' deep in the bowels of my profile pages... all expired since 31 jan, and been awaiting a reply on a repeat deal based on my TG*G status, which is valid until end Dec 09.
Note, I received my AirNZ Silver pack, with 2 complimentary KC passes, and a comment about 2 sector upgrades. But this was a 'form letter' I guess, as there are no upgrades showing on my new Silver profile....
