Thats what I thought too :)

Indeed. you are right.

Quote from Miles and smiles Elite benefits:
"Last Minute Upgrade. You can have your flight class upgraded to Business Class at time of check-in by redeeming miles from your Miles&Smiles account as an Elite member upon presenting your paid Economy Class ticket and your Elite Card at the check-in. In order to receive this service, there must be an available seat in Business Class for the requested flight, and sufficient miles in your membership account . Last minute upgrade service during check-in can be applied for Elite Member and one other passenger who travels together with Elite Card holder on the same flight route by redeeming miles from Elite member’s account. "

And elite plus:

"2 Complimentary Upgrade on any Turkish Airlines flights:
As an Elite Plus card holder, your loyalty will be granted with 2 upgrades within each Elite Plus membership year without redeeming your miles from your account. You may use this privilege on any Turkish Airlines flights you wish, to upgrade your paid Turkish Airlines Economy Class or Comfort Class flight to Business Class. Please keep in mind that the upgrades cannot be used by other persons except the Elite Plus card holder. Upgraded flights will earn paid Economy Class miles.
The validity of the unused free upgrades will not be extended for the next membership year."

I am not sure if I posted this in here but as a data point I applied for the Delta status match over to Gold early this fall. In the meantime I applied for the AMEX Delta Platinum card for the mileage and to see if the MQMs would get me the required amount needed. Lo and behold what I considered a really long shot actually worked. I have Delta Gold status through 2015. ;)

How long has it been since your challenge expired? They're pretty good at auditing Challenges well after 6 months. They're just super slow......

Just got matched from TK...

Applied on 16.07 with A3*G, follow ups on 02.09 and 10.09.

Their response today:

"We have received your e-mail message. Firstly, we do apologize for late response. Upon your request, we have upgraded your card status to Elite status."

Good to 11.2016

AS MVP Gold does not match to anything domestically. But how about Internationally? I'd like to match before I expire next month. Are there any OW or ST international FFP that will match Alaska?

They downgraded me today to Silver status without any communication...

May I ask how you contacted EVA Air? I've looked quite extensively on their website, but I found no email address whatsoever.

Thanks

Who did? China Airlines or Eva?

Should be Eva.

Happy 1000th post, mlqsko :)

They talked to match my CA Gold to the EVA Gold, but they ended up with the Silver Status, pretty useless within StarAlliance.
Contact them searching between the local EVA Sales offices in EU.

Thank you ^

The good thing is that TK are still matching, even with 3 months or so delay!

Do you have to provide them with a scan copy of the A3 card?
Because I didn't receive it yet

Yes, a photo of the physical card is necessary.
