How is that?
I got status match with Mexicana GO back in September, I did it with my FB Gold. They gave me Discover Level until Feb 2011. They just ask for the copy of your current FF card and a short explanation that I just moved to Mexico and I'll be traveling a lot between MEX and SA. I have to say, that it is a very nice airline indeed. Also I've got more upgrades and perks in 3 months than 2 years with Air France.
I did the same with CO 3 weeks ago and it did work (and fast). I got an answer in 4 days. Although the paperwork was bigger (the same requirements as posted in the beginning of the thread). Another nice shot, I got upgraded in my first flight (without having the card yet), CO lounge and all this stuff.
Another colleague in my company told me he got the LAN status match, but he had to fight quite some time to get it. He didn't got Comodoro status (according to his explanation, LAN doesn't match to Comodoro, they match one level below).
After all this, I kept one big lesson: Air France FB program is a waste of time. 2 years and more than 250K flown with them demonstrates it.
