Not sure if you meant that they no longer match status (my firm was provided a status match form with specific instructions for applying for 2015 status matches and I received an auto generated email from American providing instructions for uploading my UA mileage statement) or if you meant that my application was rejected.

I called american airlines asking for status match, they told me they do not match nbut they have fast track, you pay a fee of around 140 USD, they enroll you for a fast track of earning 5000 pints or something like that, they make you gold etc.
More details available on statusmatcher.com

Thanks

They should (based on previous reports) - send copy of card to [email protected]

KiteM Mar 17, 2015 1:17 pm

Can you please remind me to which email address I have to send my match request to turkish?

Is it correct to do it before June (i.e. when the card still has 6 months of validity)

Thanks

See post 836 earlier in this thread - this is the link - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/23875282-post836.html

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that your current gold card needs 3 months of validity, but i think that might have been Air Berlin. Don't remember.

Many thanks.
Which card do I have to use (in your opinion) between AB (no flights), A3 (Flights until november but not received the card yet), EY (flights in business in Jan)?

As benberg2013 mentioned above, AA doesn't status match, they do a paid fast track.

As for corporate matches, which you did not state earlier was your scenario, I don't know. I do know UA has a corporate status match, which I received last year. It appears AA should have one too if your firm has a form.

I'm afraid the only option would be to use the A3 gold. Turkish have a rule that they only match One World Emerald status (Air Berlin platinum) , Skyteam elite plus, and Star Alliance gold - and only A3 would match these criteria. You should take a screen shot showing your gold status, and send it in the online form as an attachment.

See also this.

Read this on onemileatatime, and got the approval a couple of days ago. VPN and a new zealand mailing service did the trick. ;) Switching from *A to OW (BA or QR, not decided yet) later this summer, so having OW status from the very beginning will be nice.

I was also matched to Qantas Gold. Has anyone received his welcome package in the mail ?

...which is weird, considering TK Elite requires fewer miles than many OW Sapphire plans.

Challenges - quick way to status
 
I will be flying 15K-18K+ miles on one return trip this summer on either DL, UAL or AA. Any suggestions on a challenge?

United - If you send a copy of your AA gold card, they should give you gold for 3 month, and if you fly 5,000 miles with United within those 3 months, which in your case you are (if you chose united) , they will give you gold for a complete year.

Looking for status match with GA GarudaMiles, anyone has any experiences? Planning to do it with FlyingBlue, but I think I will 'pass' through another alliance FFP first? Any ideas?

They don't match at all.

You already got SkyTeam by Flying Blue? Well Garuda is SkyTeam too, so what is the issue?

They only matched my alaska mvp gold to airberlin silver which is very disappointing:mad:

How long ago was this?
Until around 5 months ago, they didn't really have an official status match promotion, so if they matched your status to silver before that, it would definitely be worth submitting again a request for a status match to gold - because around 6 months ago, I asked them to match my Aegean gold, but they would only give me silver after I book one flight with air berlin or niki, and since then, after the promotion became official,many people have received a match.
So if this match of yours to silver was more than a few months ago, I would advise resubmitting a request. If you think that it would be refused as you have already received a match (albeit to silver), you could open a new account...

Any *Alliance that matches TK Elite?

CC1972 Mar 24, 2015 6:38 am

A few years ago, I status matched with TK. I'm down to Silver now. In the future, if I wanted to try my luck again with TK, should I try to get a status match using the same TK account (which has some activity) or it is better to create a new one instead?

There have been reports of people receiving a match a second time from TK, on the same account, so I would ask for a match using your same account.
If you are worried that you may have to wait a long time and then they might decline to match, there is no problem to open a new account - many people who had NO activity in there TK account received a match - the policy of TK seems to be to match whatever the case, hoping the customer will be persuaded to fly more with TK.

UA offers a status challenge but that's about it

Does Flying Blue do status match for *A Gold members?

No! And no answer from my 3/1 status match request. When I send an email followup the auto-reply said the status match was closed... so not sure if I'll ever get a reply....

I had the same question.

I would like to know which email address these people used to send there requests, as there are no easy official email addresses for general enquiries, except for specific enquiries, as listed here

That won't happen in a 1000 years. AB to LH SEN would already be a miracle.

Anything to LH SEN would be a miracle ;)

Indeed. I remember a few years back when they ran a campaign much like AB is doing now where they matched OW Gold and Skyteam Gold to SEN. Those were the good old days.

Sent GulfAir an email about a statusmatch two days ago, got an autoreply that said that they would respond within 5 workingdays. How long did it take for you guys?

tancredi Apr 4, 2015 4:14 pm

Is there any Skyteam program out there offering status match?

Thanks a lot for the info.

Alex100i Apr 5, 2015 12:28 pm

Got my Qantas Gold Status, nice card and packet with baggage tags, now casually my address came back to Europe and no more N.Z..;)

Which airlines can give me now another Gold Status? I'm already Gold with Turkish, I cannot apply again to China Airlines (SkyTeam):(, and I've no interest in Etihad or Alaska Air or another StarAlliance.

You should try changing the format of that email so they don't get spammed by spambots. :)

You should also change your quote to mask the address.
