First of all, I know I should be posting this elsewhere, but I have seen so much written on this subject in this forum, I am going to hazard a guess that this is where the real experts hang out!

I received the email offering me the *G/*S status match. I already have a Mileage Plus account, (non-elite) and a I am gold in KLM's Flying Dutchman (the result of a comp). I registered, and faxed my recent statement which shows I am gold, albeit with no flight activity.

Will I receive a *S or *G?

Many thanks in advance for your answers.

As far as I am aware, you should get *G. (I've seen nothing which contradicts this).

I'd actually be interested to know how you get on. I also have a "pointless" Flying Dutchman Gold, and was considering getting a Star comp. (Can I do this even though I'm already BD*G and LH*G?)

According to the terms and conditions: "Star Alliance Gold or Star Alliance Silver customers cannot earn status in another Star Alliance frequent flyer programme", so the official answer is no. but I cannot see how this could be traced if you applied to a third *A airline to which you do not currently belong.

When all the star programmes signed upto the status match they must have provided their current UK Gold and Silver members details to the Star to allow them to mail out the upgrade vouchers etc etc.

Therefore if you are going to do the status match I would use a different address to your current memberships.

Will this include people with status in Singapore Airlines, as they aren't taking part in the promotion?

Which has to be the best offer for these status matches. ^

Not the best by a long shot! LH gives senator until 02/07

Wingnut

And I think Asiana gives you three years...

and gives you three years to requalify with a rediculusly low mileages. 40K IIRC

Avallon

But if you don't fly:
Asiana will keep you Elite for 3 years.
LH for 5 (3 years Sen, 2 years FTL) ^
