Dear friends,

I was just status matched and booked 2 x 4 nights stays at the PP Utrecht with a 2-night stay at the PI Antwerp in between. My goal is to reach the 10-night threshold for the 6,000 per night bonus. I did ask the lady who matched me and she said it the rate was eligible.

However, when looking at the rate rules I see "Only Gold Points awarded."

Does it mean I won't get the 50% gold status bonus and the other bonuses (2,000 online booking bonus + stay more nights, earn more nights) apply?
I see a grey zone in here.

Also, as I was status matched I don't have obviously a CC Gold card. Are there any other alternatives (like printing a screenshot of the website) or is it a rule that is not enforced?
