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.

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!

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...]

try A3 status match and you will get lifetime gold
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

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?

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!

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.
