I got HHonors Silver this past year (kinda sad, I know). Anything out there worth matching with it? I have emailed HHonors to ask for a Gold challenge based on my recent activity with them.

I don't think the first tier of any hotel program is worth the bother to match. It really doesn't get you much.

Who will match United Airlines MileagePlus Gold

My MileagePlus Gold status will expire on January 31st, 2017.

As there are low chances my future flights will include UA flights, does anyone have any suggestion which airlines will status match me?

(preferably not US-based, unless they will not ask for a leg with them)

I'm mostly interested in lounge access.


Thanks in advance!

You may ask for quite easy challenge on TK, or try match to COPA (not sure if it works).

Thanks for the reply.

TK don't match Star Alliance any more (i did try it, though, and indeed got refused).

I'll check COPA.

Any additional options?

Ladies and Gents, I am Gold with Cathay Pacific's MPC, is there any status match that you would suggest with good choice of flights to Japan (where I usually travel to).

Thanks.

United Airlines gives you a challenge.

Otherwise you're kinda hosed.

Status Match Into OW

I'm currently AA Plat & AlItalia 'Freccia Alata Club'.

I will loose both at the end of the year.

Is there any status match I could do into any of the airlines in OW to retain my status?

I know LAN is matching status of AA but I haven't done any flights with them last year.

I do have 2 upcoming flights first half of 2017 enough to reach AA Gold or probably rather BA Bronze after the changes to AA's program.

A status match to BA would be great but I don't think BA ever matches or even offers a challenge according to what I find online.
Buying back AA status is an option but quite expensive...

DL Diamond to Emirates

am flying to India frequently in 2017. Hate AF angled flat and hate KLM entirely.
am 1mm with United and Gold forever, so can't be matched to a higher status there.
Thinking about Emirates.

statusmatcher.com post said they don't match above silver levels. Even for a diamond (180,000 flight miles in 2016 on DL)

I have WestJet Gold, because I'm cheap and only fly out of Canada. Any chance I can status match to a more well known airline?

Depends where in the USA / India you need to get to but try VS. They only fly to DEL connect in LHR. Flying Club might bump you up to Silver FWIW but then it'll be easy to get gold from there. Could also get the US credit card etc...
