It probably goes without saying...*

So, to the question: It probably goes without saying that this has to be "once in a lifetime", no? Else someone would be able to do the same next year etc.

Speaking of shamelessly finagling the most out of this...
...If one waits until, say, February 2011, before one's current program status expires, to turn in the fix? Would it be "2013" instead of "2012"?

Thumbs down Status matching only for US, Canadian or the Caribbean Islands (“Member”)
Dear Mr. ...

Thank you for contacting Best Western Rewards. Unfortunately it is not possible to upgrade your status because the Status Match No Catch promotion is not valid for European members. You can read the terms & conditions on https://goldcrownclub.bestwestern.co...atch-terms.pdf.


Best Regards,

Any solutions?

I wrote to them a few days ago and haven't heard from them yet. How long did it take to get a reply from BW status match?

Check you account online. Mine upgraded within 2 days ... a letter came 2 weeks later in the mail.

I faxed over a printout of the screen from hiltons site showing I was a diamond and checked my account online later that day and it was already upgraded.

How long is the status match good for? There is no expiration date on the diamond card they mailed me last year.

On the website it is showing I need zero nights to the next tier.

I did, mr. nacho used A-club plat and he only got gold.

I used my MR Gold and I got Diamond.

A-club is super worthless.
