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 ...

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?)...

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.
