Same for me. However, non-US does not guarantee the SMS (as I read in the comments here)
I have a bunch of bookings to make in China, I would happily make all those with CZ if this actually works.

Seems to be over for most of us. Just received this in an e-mail reply after applying for status match:
"Special Note:
The "Elite Member Matches" project is specifically sent to members who have been pre-qualified. It’s not a public program. We noticed many irresponsible distribution and malicious reproduction of the project, as well as too much forged, altered application materials, China Southern Airlines North America will suspend the application of non-invited members."

I tried a German number and while I got the code, I wasn't able to put it in as the China Southern website kept saying I needed to verify the code somehow?? Oh well, looks like the match is dead anyways.

NNnnooo....... Did I wait too long ?? Nuts. Was on holiday and thought I'd do it when I get back & can grab one of my business cards (as per one of the requirements).
Was hoping to match from Qatar Platinum :-(
Anyone know of a way to prompt an invitation ?!

Loyalty Lobby and probably other blogs had a CZ link for match to most statuses of DL, UA and AA. Turns out it was by invitation only, so you didn't miss anything and can go back on vacation

As far as I know, later there was also other version of answer, indicating that promotion has been suspended, but the one I've received suggests that my application will be processed. I wonder, when may I expect to get any new information?

How long did it take to receive this answer from the moment you applied for status match? I sent my application on the 15th of July and so far, the same day I've only received this:
