One would hope that for those who had their status match most recently in the August 2024 campaign, the qualifying year would run August 2024 - December 2025, i.e. 80k QPs needed (outside of the 10k bonus). Normally though, qualifying points expire at the end of the year as per the Volare T&Cs and this is my expectation:
"Qualifying points: Points used to upgrade you to the next highest exclusive Volare club or retain your current membership; they’re obtained by purchasing flights simultaneously sold and operated by ITA Airways or by a Partner airline and count toward reaching Exclusive Club membership at the end of every calendar year (i.e. from January 1 to December 31), and therefore are set to zero on December 31 of every year of the Program."
Further, the T&Cs of the status match refer to the above stipulation in the Volare T&Cs with respect to a definition of qualifying points.- If the Status Match request is accepted, the member will receive a welcome email to the new Club, obtained through the Status Match campaign, to the e-mail address with which he/she enrolled to the Volare program.
The newly acquired status, and thus the corresponding Club, will remain valid until the end of the calendar year following the year in which entry into that exclusive Club occurred (i.e., until the following December 31, or until the Volare program expires, whichever is earlier). If the Status Match request is accepted, 10.000 Volare qualifying points will be awarded to the member (i.e., points useful to obtain an upgrade to the higher Volare exclusive club or used to maintain the Club; as better regulated in the Volare regulations available at the following link, viewable in their personal area at the same time as the upgrade.
Just my two cents, perhaps more knowledgable contributors can jump in with their experience with previous ITA status matches.
