Goodbye 9W, Hello IT?
Greetings everyone, this is my first post.
Haven’t flown much with IT because of my platinum status with 9W (which seems to be - increasingly - the only reason I’m still married to them).
Will IT consider offering its top tier to attract a 9W platinum member?
Cheers.

Just a word here - when flying on IT I have found some ex-Jet flyers who have said they have never looked back...I would tend to agree if you are flying in biz cabins primarily.

IT has in the past done quite a bit of tier matching, some even without request by the pax! If you do, however, request them to match, they'll want to see your record of travel with 9W in the last 6-12 months.
Given the changes to IT's program (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/airli...f-program.html), I think its a great idea to move to KingClub !

If you only want IT miles, then there is a co-branded IT-AmEx card, which also gives you IT Gold status, for an up-front payment of Rs. 10k or 15k - forget which...

i don't think it bumps anyone to platinum through credit cards....i know the it amex & the platinum amex both come with gold status....
i don't know what the big deal is about it....i end up flying with it 4-5 times a month (along with 2-3 jet flights a week) but i always prefer jet....also, their international offering is so much better than it....
