Write back again - don't use the reply, write another email. I suspect since the blogger has blown this out they have received tons of matches - the low requirement makes it super easy to photoshop. I guess a webshop is selling that service too (you can buy all sort of status there).

Best for you to get an Instant Status Match with AA and bank your CX flights to AA if you're flying J or F.

I sent a status match request asking for Platinum status.
Sent a photo of my ITA Volare Skyteam Elite Plus card, also included my SK and AY gold cards.
I thought, the more the merrier.
A few days later I got the following email:
Thank you for contacting Asante rewards. We appreciate you enrolling to Asante Loyalty Reward and looking forward to you flying and enjoying the benefits.

Checked my account about a week later and I can see that my status has gone from Ruby to Platinum!
Thank you very much!

Any updates here? Also can't find any card? Will it be send by physical mail or all we can do is put the number inside a booking and hope it will get recognized?

Just as an additional data point to the Asante status match, I contacted them on 13 August and given the length of time without an acknowledgment was concerned it had been declined or lost. Today I’ve received notification that they’ve received my request and that they have initiated the process. Definitely sounds like they have quite the backlog, but good they’re not ignoring the requests that came in later.

I have been matched to Asante Reward Platinum which is SkyTeam Elite Plus.
now some 101 basic questions
• Do I need to do anything to have my SkyTeam Elite Plus showing up? Is there a website to connect them all?
• I have few upcoming flights via KLM and AirFrance... Flying blue still showing explorer, how can I get that all connected to SkyTeam Elite Plus?
• Will KLM and AirFrance offer anything for Skyteam Elite Plus?
