I need some help!


Having lost my job earlier in the year my status is about to expire given that all of my recent flying has been intra-Europe, primarily in discounted Y.

I'm currently BD *G; the status expires in November (validity on card 12/09). Through some "mismanagement" by AmEx, FB Gold (Elite Plus) on the card (expiry 04/10) through KLM. (FB AmEx sent me the wrong expiry date last year but my activity with them has been nil.)

Given I'm about to go back to school, I doubt I'd be able to do any MR's. I basically need a card to take me through 2010 when I foresee my flying activity be back to a level where I can maintain my status.

What are my options as to a status match? I can provide a Belgian address which ought to get me a match with LH but would not mind changing to OW as I assume I will back to LON come June next year. Without providing statements, does anyone know of better options?

(I know this should probably go in the Status Match thread)

Help much appreciated.
