That's disturbing, mines is still valid, when did you apply and was it contingent on the german or Austrian residency?

mine just expired the end of October and on the website I've been downgraded to silver (OW Ruby) so at least its something; albeit not as good as gold (OW Sapphire)

I got mine before the requirement changed to being based in Germany

Sent them two e-mails, on October 1st (english) and October 23nd(portuguese) with AB Gold and AZ Freccia Alata Status.

Location: Germany
Also sent AB Gold and AZ Freccia Alata Status and got matched to... Silver.
I replied and complained as Silver is totally worthless.

That's ridiculous. How can an airline cancel a match once it was granted... amazing!

Obviously Air Berlin has hired some marketing genius.

Air New Zealand do match but only after you do some strong booking with them and explain it as your new pattern. They are lovely and patient people. We conferred for almost two months and....got it!^

I wouldn't really call the AA challenge a match anyway as anyone could do it and you don't actually get status until you complete the challenge.
