You may be able to create a new account.
You need to change your name (if you current account is John Smith, but your ID shows John Edward Smith ...)
You also need to change you date of birth and address. It will work after all this.
Then you can ask for a new status match
(That's what I did !)

AFAIK they do not match anymore.

it should be noted that the ALITALIA program ends this year. Then there will be a NEW alitalia program. I suppose if its a new program they will accept matches. They tend to do this every few years. I wouldn't hold any az miles for this reason.

Ah, I managed to get a status match to Alitalia's Ulisse with my Iberia Silver card before the match deadline ended, but a couple months after that I was upgraded to Iberia Gold.
Now I've realized that Iberia Gold is only Sapphire on Oneworld and I cannot get the Turkish match I wanted without Emerald, which I'd have to start all over as it's a new "year" for me with Iberia. I'm kind of desperate for a Star Alliance match because I will fly with Swiss or Singapore Airlines a lot, maybe once a month but economy on my own dime... so my Iberian Gold is going to do nothing for that.
Any bright tips I could finagle a real Gold from somewhere?

Hm, maybe some hope yet. I started a United account and they matched me for Premier Gold. It's not reflecting on the website yet and it is a challenge, but I will start using them for all my upcoming Star Alliance flights and hope I make the challenge.

I matched from Iberia and I need to complete 12500 PQM within 90 days to keep the UA Gold. And it looks like I should try and do it between July 1-7 when my status ends so that I will have completed the challenge after July 1 and keep it until Jan 2018.
Sure is going to be challenging!
