Thanks but this thread is for Airline to Airline status matches.

I live in Ireland and it hasn't rejected me on the basis of that......yet. Thanks for the welcome btw, i've been a long time lurker so i thought it was time to finally sign up

dont believe you are gold just like that
go in and check your account
you will find you are still ivory.
when they match they take ages if they ever do.
I could see nowhere where they specifically say you have to have a DEN address but I suspect it could be so.

AR statusmatch
 

After a few weeks of getting a message that I was granted platino status at the AR program, I contacted them as my status on the site was still unchanged.

I got a message back:


"Dear Mr. Michael9,

As we can see at your account you are a classic member.

Can you inform us who told you will be upgraded to platinum? "


strange organisation this ...

hi....

Ya it still shows ivory.....damn it....

I sent turkey a mail as well.....been a week....they have never responded back.....

any other *A giving a straight match ??

Has anyone had any luck matching LAN Pass Premium Silver (OW Sapphire) over to TAM's program?

I recently received a mailer from LAN regarding mutual benefits as a result of the merger (TAM lounge access, for example) but I'd prefer a match for full Star Gold status.

Yes, exactly :) seems they used same template first to everyone to advice about status match to Platino, and then same template to refuse it "as your airline do not operate AR routes"(??? what should that mean?)...

closed now , I applied but stiil have not heard from them.....

I am looking to switch my South American travel from LAN to TAM. I have enjoyed the use of lounges etc. even when flying Y on LAN thanks to BA Silver card, are there any opportunities to get TAM to match to anything equivalent, perhaps under the vainhope I might switch my l/h flying from BA to TAM.

Or do I put up with it until TAM join OW (assuming LAN don't head off to Star Alliance).

Current plan is that TAM will leave Star, but no date yet. They still have about 1.5 year to do so according to the merger approval.

I had heard similar, but didn't realise the timescales were quite so long. Looking for Avios or rather TP options between GRU & EZE. LAN used to have crazy prices on Y+ if you booked flexible tickets with 2 or 3 months between them, I am guessing they realised this and put the price up. Refuse to fly LAN Y - rather refuse to eat the god awful ham and cheese croissant - so going to give TAM a try this time. Bonus is I can fly from AEP not EZE.

this promo is gone but I signed up for it when it was live ,

I got an email today that I am now Flying Blue Gold :)

thanks so much for posting that , I would never have found it by myself.

Soarer

is anyone matching Virgin America Silver , One world would be nice

just so I can get a free bag if needed.....

Seriously? I can't see any airline caring about Elevate members.
