Good news for those seeking a Skyteam Elite / Elite Plus tier as Kenya Airways (KQ) has resumed status match:

• Airlines of course, but also hotels and credit cards are eligible to this status match.
• Cost ranges from USD 80 to USD 299, depending of your region/loyalty progam.

More infos here:
https://kenya-airways.statusmatch.com/

Applied for match last Saturday using AT Safar Plat status, a Kenya Airways account using my Australian details and paid for by Australian credit card. Approved Sunday. CI can see my ELPS status on Monday.

Glad to see the process quicker than 2 years ago during the initial status match!
Now, will other ST airlines allow you to use your benefits when flying them, like posted here ?

CI already allows me to designate my seat without charge as Asante Plat.

My wife (in same booking, no ST status) is still charged.

Got it , my bad, Initially i wrongly thought that CI was - Check In - instead of China Airlines.
Please report your experience this coming year with Skyteam. It might help potential matchers ​​​​​​.

I found a status match offer by AA where they give you a higher Status for 4 months than the one you send in for the match:

Elevate your business travel with AAdvantage� status

Now through Oct. 31, we'll match your current status from another airline, plus give you something extra to enhance your journey.

Something better at every tier

• For AAdvantage Gold� and AAdvantage Platinum� status equivalents
  Your loyalty deserves more. We'll match your current status one tier higher in the AAdvantage� program.
  
• For AAdvantage Platinum Pro� and AAdvantage Executive Platinum� status equivalents
  We'll match your status to the equivalent AAdvantage� tier, plus receive exclusive Flagship� lounge Single Visit Passes.
  • AAdvantage Platinum Pro� status matches will receive two Flagship� lounge Single Visit Passes.
  • AAdvantage Executive Platinum� status matches will receive four Flagship� lounge Single Visit Passes.

Unlock immediate status for four months with the chance to extend it through our status challenge — the Instant Status Pass™ promotion

I tried to participate with Southwest A-List but got rejected. "Your request is not valid based on the email domain". There is a field for "work email address" and I wonder whether this promo is targeted?
It can be found on several blogs but nobody mentions any restrictions.

Several bloggers now reporting Royal Jordanian (OneWorld) status match. Inexpensive ($149) AA domestic lounge access (if eligible). 3 minutes (including saving screenshots) to join RJ program and 5 minutes to complete the status match application. FAQ Application

Addendum: CC charge posted “pending” to CC immediately. Emails as below received immediately after application and ~2 hours later, status on website not updated.

I can see why it works for US FTers (Delta and United).

Not too helpful on our side of the world - residency doc requirement (well, some of us here are dual nationals...) but more importantly hotel programs only match to OWR is a major kneecap this time.

The cost is USD149, apparently.

My mailing address is in the USA, no verifying documentation was requested or required. Only documentation I uploaded was 1 file, my UA Premier Gold card image.

I am still UA Premier Gold for four more months. But with an AA Admirals Club life membership, there doesn't seem much benefit to me.

Lufthansa is matching ITA Airways status. I forgot I had ITA Premium and has been matched to LH Senator until 2027.

Not bad!

If you are Volare Executive or Premium you probably already applied for it Miles & More Status Match for Volare elites

If you have an Executive friend then maybe they may have an unused nomination. Those should be running short though.

Joined Royal Club and applied for Royal Jordanian match on Oct 1, updated card noted on app (and Wallet version) early on Oct 6 while in DC prior to flight home to LGA, updated card noted on full website after getting home Oct 6 evening. App loaded to iPhone and iPad quickly, easy login on both devices. Card easily viewable on App with obvious “Add to Wallet” tab. (If I could do it easily, anyone can .)

When I first saw the cards on the App and Wallet, with “Valid Till 05/10/2026” and “Valid Till 06-10-2026”, my immediate thought was “they only gave me 7 or 8 months of status" and "why are the dates different". Took a few minutes to realize it was the European version of date with day/month not the USA version with month/day. Website version with only month and year confirmed that.

Flew AA DCA-LGA earlier today, quick AA Club access at DCA by scanning boarding pass and lounge attendant manually entered Royal Club #. Quick AA Club access after landing at LGA by scanning boarding pass and scanning an image of the APP version of the card.

I went to apply for this just now, on 10/7, and after entering my info on the StatusMatch website was shown the below.
I can't find any other DPs of it being over...

"This Status Match offer is currently not available.
We have recorded your interest in a future Status Match, and you will be alerted if we are able to extend this offer to you in the future.
Thank you for your interest."
