No Star Alliance match. You could try Copa ConnectMiles or Avianca Brasil Amigo but you're out of luck.

Turkish stopped theirs? Damn.

No, they are still matching for a couple of months but they require international leg with them to extend it.

Numerous reports on statusmatcher.com state TK denying even a challenge.

Any Skyteam carriers offer match these days?

I can confirm that (as of this writing) on American Airlines, if you do a status match or challenge on or before June 15, it is only good for the remaining of that calendar year :(:td:.

If, however, you do it June 16th or after it is good for the remaining of that calendar year, AND for the following calendar year. ^ Kinda like "buy one get one half off."

SOURCE: my experience this year :)

is this typical across the board?
ie if ask for copa match now will I get the whole of next yr as well or should I wait a bit longer?
thanks

I think so, but only in business class. Last time I booked a Turkish J roundtrip award using United MileagePlus miles, I was given a BMW transfer at Ataturk from a tight connection, and weeks after the trip I received a letter from Turkish Airlines thanking me for all the revenue and business I was giving them, along with a bottle of Monopole.

why would an economy flight not work for purposes of flying on tk to contine the status match?

sorry dunno

Meanwhile I already asked for a status challenge from AA Plat to UA Gold. Just booked a UA ticket to fly at least 12,5K miles. I think this is the best way to get Star Alliance Gold status as soon as possible.

I am currently 1K with UA, looking to do a status match with DL. Any advice or recommendations? I've been 1K with UA for 7 years but living in Atlanta makes it hard...

Anyone know if any airlines are matching status off of VX?
