it seems that this year the status matches are scarce, aftr looking at statusmatcher.com
for 2016 I have
gold for Alitalia ,
gold on topbonus AirBerlin
and gold with amigo.avianca brazil
But I got stuck on a job and never used them , but the future 2017 looks bright so I need to match some of these for the next year ,
Any ideas ? All I really care about is the extra baggage , maybe priority boarding ,
I am normally in the cheap seats so I will not get upgraded to business anyway,
on a normal year I fly International 4-5 times a year , this year was just not normal !
So I have nothing on these cards if they want "screen shots" of 2016 activity
Thanks for your ideas

EP with AA till Feb 2018. Should I status match with AS now or wait until my EP status with AA expires? Do airlines agree to status match at the end of status period with another airline?

I'm currently American Platinum (through flying) and Avianca Amigo Gold (via a status match last year).
I've had the Alaska match before, and I assume that's once per lifetime? (Correct me if I'm wrong!). I've also had Turkish and Air Berlin via matches.
Do I have any options? I'm particularly interested in maximizing lounge access. Less concerned about the other perks.

Anyone have any ideas on leveraging my Avianca Lifemiles Gold status for a match? It will expire Feb 2017 
. I'm based in Canada, so Star Alliance is best (Air Canada). Thanks!
