I submitted this late July when it first surfaced but haven't heard from them. O well, no loss but may have tried them next year if it worked.

I can give you the "vacation consultant's" contact info if you want to contact her to see if she can verify your matching request and whether it has been received/processed or not (and if so, what elite level you were matched to.)

Just send me a PM if you want and I will send you her info.

I applied about two months ago and was just matched to Gold at MSC, even though I'm Hilton Diamond. There is no 'top for top' status match. The person who did the match (I had to call to finally get it done) said that there is a matrix from corporate that they must follow with no deviation.

I submitted a match with SPG Gold (which I got via Amex Plat) - curious to see what they come back with.

We sailed on MSC Preziosa late last year and it was pretty good.

Any luck?

I've submitted my request through the Singapore MSC agent, but yet to hear from them.

Matched !
 
We have a cruise booked with MSC in April (our first) and after checking on here I scanned in my husband's platinum level le club accor card. I did this yesterday (Sunday) and he has already got Black status from MSC! I just hope we get some of the benefits from this even though we had already booked.

Hi Nikkiw60, may I ask you where you got matched from ? Was it through msccruises.co.uk ?

Yes we went through the status match section you download the form, complete it and along with a scan of the card you would like to match email it back to them. There is a list of the loyalty schemes accepted for a match.

I can't find the list.... Do you have a link ? Because in Aug'15 I've tried the match and got denied because Accor wasn't part of the programs they're matching from.

Btw, I was a platinum member too.:confused:

Sorry I don't have a link. It's worth trying again isn't it? They don't match IHG btw or airlines.

They matched my IHG Gold against MSC Silver.

That makes me wonder what my IHG Spire might be worth. I'm now more tempted to check this out but am not planning another cruise until at least 2017 and Spire will expire after this year. Maybe later in the year.
