EK aren't really known for offering status matches , worth a try by sending an email.
I think what DatBoi did was register as a ‘full’ Skywards member using the fake DoB and then amend his DoB to the correct one. The system did not pick this up and did not ‘downgrade’ him to Skysurfer. So now there should be 2 DatBois in the System, one Skywards and one Skysurfer (at least I think he was a Skysurfer already). Both with the same names and DoBs. Unless he cancelled the Skysurfer membership before enacting this ‘trick’.
