Bad news: Turkish has downgraded their discrete status match program to a status challenge:
Also next week is the last week for Alitalia's public status match campaign. I'm sure there will be new ones though.. Just keep an eye on http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...thread-92.html.
Elite card trial period will be valid for 4 months. As of start date of elite membership within 4 months trial period one international Turkish Airlines flight should be realised for extending your card validity date to 1 year, if 15.000 status miles accumulate at the end of the first year elite membership will extend 1 year more and the total validity date will be 2 years.

Being OWE / AY+ Plat I obviously concentrate my travels for AY & OW flights, but sometimes I travel with tickets that I cannot decide on my own, my employer or commissioner takes care of the travel arrangements, and this results to the odd *Alliance / Skyteam flight every now and then. Usually economy class. But to make the travels more enjoyable, I guess a decent status with the other alliances would be good right? Priority boarding, lounge access, extra luggage.
So I'm waiting on the Alitalia to come trough, but the Star Alliance is another issue since the TK program turned to a challenge, but I noticed that Copa Airlines and Avianca Brazil should be able to match Plat to SA Gold. Any experiences on those two being AY and trying to match?
Turkish will definitely be on my list, WHEN I have a confirmed trip with them so that the status will be extended to a full year.

TK is good when you can fly them. Copa is tough as I have a feeling they match very selectively, I was turned down as a EXP even though AA competes with them BA gold also no... Obviously YMMV.
O6 or avianca brasil was matching but their official match ended nov 30 2015.
Right now is slim pickens
Maybe soon it will change.
