LATAM Status Match
Did anyone else get an email from Loyalty Summit about giving an elite status match to LATAM? I really don't fly them, or to SA much. But I think it could come in handy if I take a DL flight or a Skyteam flight which could be very likely as I am starting a new job in Africa that will require a lot of flying in and out of there. If they were to match me now, would it be good through next year?

No. I'm saying is it worth it to match, and if they match I obviously can't requalify with them three months so how long would it be good until?

says until 3/31/23. Need to pay $39
mentions nothing about how much spend or miles to maintain status. It also says excluding black signature. when I did the application it said I would have black with my UA 1k match.

If the purpose of status matching to LATAM is to get upgrades on LATAM, the chance is not good. In this time and age, LATAM business class from South America to Europe or U.S. are mostly full with paying customers (based on Expertflyer). This is because LATAM business class fares are always the cheapest.

In order to status match, I need a Laram account. So I tried to create a new account, but their website failed. I tried at least 5 times on 3 different days. It's ridiculous, and we know this about Latam, besides their website not functioning when purching tickets on their site.

What a great find! I just went through the Status Match website, having signed up for a Latam account (no issues with the website), paid the $39 and am waiting for the result. Global Services with UA looks to be matching with Black.

I'm downgrading my view a little.. it came through, and it's only to 12/31/22... less than 90 days to get there.... ugh.
