Mine arrived yesterday, despite me being matched last May.

So no use yesterday when flying MUC-DUS-NCL

Lounge dragons on LH said simply: no card, no entry.

No problems when using Swiss though.

You would have thought if they can code share on flights, they can share basic FF info between airlines

I think TK is in the process of sending cards to everyone. Me and my friends got our cards last week (on the same day) having matched respectively in june and october last year. TK finally wakes up :)

Air Berlin gives you challange (and send a card quickly - 5 months).
Gulf air (1 year) - would be matched.

ANA Status Match to Gold?
 
I'm registered to that ANA campaign for Platinum..15000 PREMIUM points required:(

One question: I'm Gold with AF/KLM FB, Gold with AirBerlin and Gold with Turkish, all of them will expire on July, is there a way to match my status to Gold with ANA Mileage Club? (I have 40000 unused Miles on my ANA Club account..).


PS: Feel free to move my post to the appropriate Status Match thread, if necessary

My TK *G arrived today. Matched in July 2013. Seems they really are catching up with old send requests.

Yes, I received mine today (matched last October). Just in time for my family trip to Asia.

Requested status match from AA Platinum to AB Topbonus Gold. Approved and received Topbonus Gold card and 2 luggage tags within 1 month. Card arrived while in Thailand but was able to use lounges in Bangkok, Abu Dhabi, and Dusseldorf by showing gate-keepers my Topbonus status on my ipad.

Why would you have not just used your AA Platinum card for access? They're both Oneworld Sapphire.... :confused:

Does anyone know of any way to match my *A Gold with SAS to SkyTeam? Will most likely be moving from Norway to the US this fall where the airport is only served by Delta. Already tried KLM/AF, but not suprisingly they said they don't give statusmatches.

I also got a 5 months Gold Card with Air Berlin (status match challenge), but I won't fly the required amount of times to keep it after that, if that's any help for any status match.

Well I paid $180 for AA Plat challenge. Three CX flights and 12k EQP later, I'm still Gold. Anyone know why?

Do you have four AA segments?

This thread suggests AA is now enforcing the rule.

savekenny May 12, 2014 8:00 am

Darn it. I'll have four next month. But I will have qualified for Plat before that on EQP from CX flights anyway. Urgh.

I dont think you need 4segments for challenge but I also dont recall CX flights counting for the challenge.

It's been a while, but did you fly 10k EQP on AA flights, either metal or codeshare?
