Wow, bmi mercury level

There has been a status match promotion running on the Irish website (but confusingly open to all) for a while, but this has recently ended. However, if you do have status elsewhere (not necessarily Star Alliance), they may well be sympathetic to a status match request. Mind you, your post implies this is not the case...

Your only other options, then, are a mileage run (see the mileage run forum), or toughing it out...
