Is there any SkyTeam carrier that would offer a match or a challenge for A3*G? I've been holding the status for years, and I'm able to present significant activity at the account.

Any suggestions appreciated.

My Turkish Star Gold is expiring soon. Am I correct in thinking that I'm out of luck for any matches atm?

Would it work for Avianca Amigo elites (Diamond)? I can throw in Etihad Guest Gold in as well.

I'm trying to match with them and trying to use the argument, "But I have Avianca status and you said you'll match it"

Need to status match. Help!
 
Hi all,

Currently hold Air Nz *G and Airberlin Gold. My ANZ will expire in June, and I am keen to figure out how to status match into another *G program. Advice on how to best do this? I've read that TK won't match *G anymore and won't match Oneworld Sapphire... Any comments/expertise?

Also eager to match into another Oneworld Sapphire situation... Although that may be difficult. QF offered me a challenge but I didn't complete given the existing OW Sapphire.

Appreciate your help! h

Its very unusual to be matched to same level. Often 1 level/tier down.
Airlines on 1 alliance tend not to match against their comrades in the same alliance, AB being as notable exception.

Why did you not do the QF challenge if offered to you?
Reads as if you do not fly enough to maintain status. Are you an infrequent flyer?

I got this email, so I wouldn't count on the match going thru.

Some of us not-so-frequent flyers try to make it one as much as possible, though. ;) The 560 TP I'll receive if BRU-HND on QR goes through were definitely part of the equation.

Just finishing law school and had to take some time away from flying to focus on that. Take your point that it isn't a free ride. Didn't take the QF challenge because it would only have given me 2 months more OW sapphire than my AB status match gave me.

Still keen to find a way to extend the *G by either matching current ANZ or AB. :)

Will be back in the air from mid-year so the grounding will be temporary, as it were. Thanks all!
