- Person 1: Executive, obtained through the same status match campaign. Zero flying activity. Applied on 5/10, match approved today.
- Person 2: Premium, obtained as a gift from Person 1. Some flying activity. Applied on 3/10, rejected today.
I guess they don't check every application because they have to do it manually (like creating fake bookings to validate status). some applications will be approved without further checks and some are picked for detailled checks.
otherwise I can't explain that outcome.
