How to submit a status match request
 
hi

I’m a star alliance gold member and I have a few business trips in the next months which I will probably take with British airways.
How can I ask for a status match? I didn’t find any email address I can use or an online form.
What are the chances of getting it?
Thanks

BA don't do status matches.

Some of its one world partners do though

The best way to get a status match is to fly a few QR J class flights...

If you are travelling on tickets booked via corporate account, BA has been known to provide complimentary cards (Silver/Gold) if you are able to talk to your account manager.

S7 will sell you Sapphire OW status for by the month. I think it's about $300 US.

I have managed to get Star Alliance Status Match to Star Gold with BA Status on Turkish Airlines. But I’ve never heard of BA doing status match.

You may also get an early status promotion if you have enough flights in premium cabins booked.

I've no real experience with status matches etc but interesting reading from those who have posted so far. ^

However, let me welcome you to the forum gabimaor although I see you joined last year so hopefully we may see more posts from you so welcome aboard.

They won't sell until you've flown and credit at least 1 S7 flight

They did it for me, though that was a fair few years ago.

I think I also read a reference on here a few months back.
