I am one of those who status matched my BA status to KQ about 2 days before SAS revealed their offering. Not sure I would be able to keep either status since I don't have that much flying lined up for this year but it's nice to have at least some status and also I could've at least saved a few $$ if my patience grew a little longer. I did try to play some mind games in terms of switching to another ST offering with Status Match but they sadly played it by the book. No refunds, no changes, following their T&C to the letter.
