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.

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?

Today I've asked to match my China Airlines Dynasty Flyer Emerald to EVA Air Infinity MileageLands Gold, so Skyteam to StarAlliance. In the statusmatcher website, they wrote that 2 people already got this opportunity, providing to have some transactions on both the accounts.
Let's see what happen. :-)
