Maybe they're BIN discriminating (US USD 299 Germany (as All Other Countries) USD 175)

When I was matching KQ, I used my Australian address (I was physically sitting in it) *and* my Australian credit card.
I submitted a genuinely earned AT Plat https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/37323485-post391.html , it was done under booster https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/37448546-post184.html which I applied for under my HK details with Statusmatch but they didn't seem to match (or mind).

Have you received a feedback on that? I am in a very similar situation (LH Senator -> RJ) and got declined. French passport holder and paid with Revolut (with a French IBAN) so don't think it's due to the US credit card. Also got my LH Senator through a match. I may have missed it in the T&Cs but the conditions do not mention how you got the status.

I have booked the same day as my status match a more expensive trip on a OW member next week. It looks like I should have gone with the cheapest low cost option :cool:

Update - Read the T&Cs more carefully, probably the reason - I wish they could highlight it in the FAQ as I am going to have a long layover now w/o lounge access and no luggage...
(j) Any application where StatusMatch.com belives the origin account has not earned the status according to the other program terms and on merit through flying, or 'chain matched' from another program, will be declined.

If you match to Platinum Elite Plus, will that give you access to Delta lounges on domestic flights?

they don't match from a status that you earned through a statusmatch.com status match. they know from your records that you did a status match to LH - so you can't use the LH status to do a chain match. That's rather silly as statusmatch.com seems to handle almost all current status matches.
you can try by changing your Lufthansa email address - so they can't use that information to match you against earlier matches. and in case you have not been SEN before the status match you should have received a new service card number from LH - that you could not have used in an earlier match. with these changes they can't see the chain match.

ITA to LH
 

Can anyone give a tip.
Got ITA Premium, ending 03.2026
qualifying and non qualifing points on it.
but statusmatching via ststusmatcher giving negative response. Based in EU. All according to the match rules.

hi everyone - I'm BA Gold and have a flight with Delta in a month or so. What's the best way / best option to status match across to Skyteam? TIA

DL will match you to PM for a few months.

Thank you. Annoyingly the criteria seems to include that you have to have been on a Delta-marketed flight in the last 3 years, which I haven't! Are there any other SkyTeam members that would be worth a look instead? I'm flying out business, back economy so would like to use the lounge on the way back.

Another way to approach this would be to open an American Express Platinum card, which allows access to Delta Skyclubs when flying Delta.

I don't think there is such requirement. They want to get you on board and will match and then give you 90 days to do a challenge and keep the status.

It says on their website unfortunately.

I've submitted the status challenge anyway, together with my flight confirmation. Let's see what happens!

Did DL got you on the challenge without that 1 segment requirement?

No reply as yet...

...and just declined as I haven't had a Delta flight in the past 3 years. Crazy. Here goes the Flying Blue match then!

Is there any ongoing match from Skyteam (Elite Plus with VN) to Oneworld?
