only applied tongue in cheek really due to the low 20000 limit for gold membership. Reports on BMI forum of A3,TK,SAS status matching BMI DC so maybe it is an unofficial (or unannounced) star alliance matching campaign??

It would be interesting if it's the case as it may be an opportunity for a LH status-match, usually unavailable, and probably a better match than A3's M&B for economy flyers.[/QUOTE]
I think its targetted only at the poor BMI diamond clubbers following their departure from star. Cant seee M and M doing gold status matches with other star golds

that might be wisshul thinking as they have sold to IAG who are offering BA status matching at equivalent level but we can live in hope I guess - DC gold matched to BA gold and LH gold would certainly be a result!

My son, who (still) lives in Barcelona was recently matched to M&B gold status due to Spanair's (was gold there) going out of business. The matter was "handled" (simple question -> done!) by the BCN office of A3, at least this is what he understood. My own understanding is that *A airlines must have decided to match such requests from programs that are no longer in the alliance on an "ad hoc" and, certainly, non-fussy basis.

I was BMI Gold for 2011 but since they were going out of business did not even try for 2012 and put my miles on UAL
Would be nice if they matched the 2011 status

I have a question regarding the Delta SkyMiles Challenge.
It says "In order to extend your Medallion status after the 90-days, you'll need to earn a specific number of Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) or Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs) within the 90-days of enrolling by flying Delta or Delta Connection®."
Do they really mean flights on Delta only or do they mean MQMs that I could also collect flying other SkyTeam Partner Airlines?

Because of this posting.
Hi,
I signed up here: SkyMiles Medallion Status Match Challenge
If you were matched to Gold, you have to collect 16'000 DL MQM within 90 days.
