I wrote that I was not aware of that.

I’ve not matched twice, I wrote “… I might …”.

If I do so, yes, for the upgrades; it’s exactly why all of us do all of this.

You need an Altitude adjustment.

I do it for the lounges!

in 2014, I had AB status matched to Gold from UA Platinum, and then hit minimum miles to keep that AB Gold through the end of 2015. Now that it is coming up, what is another OW carrier than can be easily status matched with UA Platinum? I was considering LAN. Any that are easier?

AA with payment

AAs current status challenge program ended sept 23 from what I understand a different program might come back later?

Edit: I guess the challenge is still available but the end date is set at Dec 23rd.

Mine turned Gold after about three days.

Any idea how long it takes for the physical card to arrive?

*Better off matching to TK* (not matching tk to copa)

Any airlines that might status match DL Diamond currently? I will be losing my status and interested in getting something out of it. Preferrably an airline that services Australia. Thanks

Copa, Avianca Brazil, Air Berlin ............ to name at least a few.

Not sure they serve Australia though... ;)

Depends on how you view the question I suppose. I view it as the first two are Star Alliance, which is served by United and Singapore to Aus. The latter being Oneworld which is served by Qantas and BA to Aus.

Thanks. An interesting trio! Doubt I will be on their metal anytime soon, but I will look into what status with these airlines might offer. I have some Air NZ flights coming up, and Star Alliance Gold would be handy.

Copa deal seems very restricted since some days now.

AB requires German address.

Copa did not even bother responding to the email sent by the Mrs :) so either they are inundated with emails or dont care :)

I have platinum status with United till Dec 2016, I probably will reduce my flying activities for year 2016, thus will lose my status with United.

I was wondering, when will be the good time for me to request for status match to Turkish Airlines so I can maintain a *A gold status ?

The sooner the better : no one knows when TK will stop matching.

Hi

I'm a bit new to this status match stuff, but have successfully matched Cathay Gold to Gulf Air and then Gulf Air to Etihad Gold.

As the Cathay Gold has expired im trying to get back to One World. I see AB have a match but only if you live in Germany.

Is there any other OW that might match, or any other airlines currently matching that are worth doing? I don't have a Star Alliance yet.

If you want OW, then RJ would be a good alternative to CX.

I'm *G and would like to have OW S, and I needed a leg from HKG to BKK. RJ is doing that at a reasonable price. Bought the ticket, asked for the match, they approved it and now all I need to do is to fly that leg and I'll have the status for 2 years. I need to fly 40k within 2 years with RJ to maintain it, which is actually very fair especially all their Y gives 100% miles.

I'm seriously considering doing it since I have re-qualified and can't run until 2017 anyway, even though RJ doesn't fly to CPH.

Re: Copa:

I have a similar concern, I wonder if it will ever arrive. OTOH, a paper printed version of my Platinum card gained me entry ^ (after 5 minutes of the receptionist doing something on her computer :confused:) to the (outrageously crowded and very poorly provisioned :td: but under construction so there’s hope for something better :rolleyes:) LAX UA Club a few days ago.


They never replied to any of my 3 identical emails over a week or 10 days. However, a day after the third email my upgraded status was displayed on their website. Suggest the INREA* variation of HUCA. :)

(* If No Reply, Email Again)

I just check still at member status, so I emailed again :

We will see. They are as prompt as AC :)

My Presidential Platinum card arrived in the mail a few weeks ago.

After requesting from Copa, Received this today:

Just got matched by Avianca Brazil to Amigo Gold (*G) from airberlin topbonus gold.

other than TK, any other star alliance airlines match AC*G? I can give my wife an AC E50K status that will expire in Feb 29, 2016, but I need to do it today. I already got her TK*G before, hence, can't match again.

Thanks

How much time did it take for you to get status after sending the request email?

Sent them email on 6th of October.

edit: actually now looking at my mail, I've sent them an email twice, accidentally. First time was on 1/10. I have no clue how I accidentally resent the exact same email five days later, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did they send you a email about the match or did you just see it in your online account?

Got an email in portuguese.

I neither live in Brazil, put in brazilian address while registering, nor sent the email requesting match in portuguese.

Got matched to Alitalia Freccia Alata Club from Malaysia Airlines Gold.

I got the same after submitting my TK card (before there was talk that the competitor had to be in Copa's region). A couple of weeks later I resubmitted using my AA EXP card and was watched to Copa Platinum with 48 hours.

Maybe give it another shot.

Im suprised copa only matched EXP to platinum?

When is the status until?

03/17.

Nice!

I also emailed with air berlin gold(exp 2/16) on oct 1,but have not received any indication of status, maybe I will email again..

I sent a request for status match to the Avianca program and got an email saying that within 30 days of the end of the promotional period I will get status if I qualify (or at least that is what google translate says that it says).

Are you in the Americas or Europe?

hi! are there any status match offers to OW? don't live in Germany/Austra/Switzerland so i'm not eligible for airberlin's status match.

Germany.
