I can see that some people on this tread has been matched to Gold by A3 - but how this has been requested ?
I can't find an email address for A3 or miles&bonus - any hints ?

I got matched by SAS using the HK/CN resident offer. I used my BA Gold to match (since I only have BD*S).
It took only 2 days after I sent a PDF screen of my BA account, I got my EB account email the first day, and this morning I received the PIN. When I logged in, I could see Gold status. No email confirming status match.

I have addresses in SH, HK, and BJ that you guys are welcome to use, but please email me (rather than PM). Also, I can't envision myself mailing out cards; if you come over to these parts, I can give them to you, though.

Well, yes, that's what I will do in case I can't get A3 to match me. But starting as A3 Gold would make things a bit easier.

I can't find an email address for A3 or miles&bonus - any hints ?

I've now e-mailed A3 for status match. This is the e-mail addy I used, from their web site '[email protected]'

Yes, I used a friend's HK address. The offer was detailed in this blog post: http://loyaltylobby.com/2012/04/13/s...ina-hong-kong/

TK Elite Card
Happily matched by TK to Elite 
from DC Gold. Looking forward to trying their nice lounge in Istanbul.
Does anyone know how long the card takes to arrive in the UK. Travelling just after DC * benefits run out. Hopefully it's quicker then A3 which seems to take around 2 months. Many thanks

Mrs F is similarly a refugee from DC and would also like a status match. Just keen to know, before she applies, whether anyone here...
1) has been successfully matched, but has never flown TK to date (and not made promises to do so in their application)
or
2) has had their application rejected by TK - and reasons given, if any
Many thanks

Strategic timing of the TK match?
So it seems that TK matches the status for 2 years since match date, right?
Since I've got another *G card expiring in February 2013 (and BMI Gold expiring shortly after), the best time to match would be in Jan/Feb 2013 I guess. Any flaws in this strategy?

The only issue is we dont know how long the likes of TK and A3 will routinely match DC gold - on my A3 match it was listed in my account as BMI 2012 Status Match Campaign which suggests it might have a cut off date althouigh this is obviously just pure speculation. Why not match to A3 now anyway for up to 3 years star gold as a back up then try to match to TK at a later date?
