+1 The same for me with AB Gold/TK.
Under the action on February 7,than EY changed conditions only for UAE residents, was achieved status match from AB Gold to Etihad Gold. The card has not arrived yet, but in the account is "matched EY Gold" and note: card dispatched.

Hello William,

You should easily get a status match with Turkish Airlines. They match to ELITE level anyone holding gold status with one of the airline of the 3 big alliances.

I did the status match to Turkish Airlines a couple of months back, but have not received the physical card yet.

I will be flying UA on a trans-pacific flight in May and would love to have access to the lounges. Any suggestions on how to achieve that without the physical card on hand?

Thank you!

China Airlines Dynasty Flyer seems pretty generous. They've even matched A3*G in the past.

I think that there is somewhere on their website where you can print a copy of your card. The lounge may be able to check your TK status manually from that to allow access, but I can't guarantee it.

What would generally be the cutoff date this year for the matched status to last until FEB/MAR 2016? [specifically with USA airlines: AA, UA, AS, DL...]

Greetings all,

hoping one of you might have some valuable input. Am about to go Platinum on AirBerlin this month with 100k flown. My travel is mostly in Germany, less so Europe, and occasionally further afield. I would like to get a Status Match to a Star Alliance carrier for lounge access.
From what I've read, LH is stingy with this - are there other SA carriers which may be more forthcoming?

thanks in advance,
William

did they offer a status match or a challenge?

Credit single *A flight once in 3 years is not a tall order, me thinks.

Will A3 match TK Elite (Gold), and if so, what is the procedure to request the match?

As far as I've heard, A3 will not do any status matches. I don't know if "Kenji" knows something the rest of us don't, but if A3's started doing status matches, I'm going to be super hyped.

I requested for the card using the online form a couple of times, but still no card. Any ideas on getting the card?

Thanks for the reply. I tried looking at their website, but still can't find it. Do you mind showing exactly where it is? Thank you!

I can't find it either. I may have been thinking of another airline. I did see that in your account information under "Card Transactions" (that is what Google Chrome translates it to, so you may see something else), there is a link for Lost Card Request. You might try that to get your card.
