Any data points on what united platinum would be matched to?

Has anybody figured out how to print or get the Asante elite card? There4 seems to be no link to save or add it to Apple wallet. Thank you.

How long did it take from status match request to get the Gold membership in the Asante Rewards account?

I got a status match from BA Gold to Asante Gold within 48 hours. I did not receive and confirmation email, but I could see it when I logged in the the Asante site.

Nice job. I've sent my status match request from CX Gold 4 days ago but so far I didn't get matched yet. I believe they're having a massive number of requests...

Yeah now the blogger is blowing it out so I suspect KQ will stop it soon.

After some back and forth we finally got matched to Asante Gold.

Enrolled and requested status match from Finnair Gold on Aug 10, received the following message on Aug 14:

Thank you for contacting Kenya Airways Asante desk.
We are now working on the status match to be Gold on your Asante Account as well.
Allow us 7 working days for that to reflect in your account.

Hi Guys!
Last week Kenya airways matched my status match request and granted me with Asante Gold (Skyteam Elite plus.
I had a flight from BKK to HAN few days ago and also HAN to ICN and this is what I was told at the Vietnam airline and Korea air check in, "Frequent flyer program number is invalid".
I was just wondering if Asante is in working order as of today for Skyteam?
Or does Skyteam only accept Kenya Airways Flying Blue? Has anybody else had a similar experience? Thanks for your time.

This appears to be an integration issue with many ST partner airlines. There are plenty of similar stories in the forum. Might take them a little while to fix this.

Does it mean that it is not possible to use the status for lounge access etc.?

No generic answer I guess. Should depend on the mood of the respective lounge dragons, agents etc.
