welltravelled88's question has been added to the established thread on this topic.

For a data point. I just sent an email in for UA status match challenge and it was processed in one day.

Maybe someone could recap the info and do a summary of today's status match options ? I am reading through the thread, but some of the info is old, some is contradicted, so it's hard to see where we stand.

Check out ...thepointsguy.com ...July 10 post.

Air France status match is dead, maybe?

@mia
I believe BMI is no longer doing status match now.

Okay, I have skimmed and searched the status match threads but haven't found anything exactly matching my question (sorry if I'm duplicating). I recently did challenge to CP on US airways and will hold onto it for a year. Without the challenge, my miles qualify me for gold on US and gold/50kpqm is a reasonable expectation for me or maybe a little higher (eg plat/75k). I've been flying more while looking to relocate for a more permanent job. No idea where I'll end up yet but if it isn't near CLT/PHX/PHL/DCA, another airline might be more suitable than US.

However, it seems like the big 3 Delta, AA, and UA consider each other for status match but not US. Has anyone tried it? I'm just curious/speculating at this point. On the US thread there are mostly people trying to switch from the other three to US.

Finally, I know there's a decent chance US and AA will merge... which would make all this moot. Just wondering about what to do before that happens/if it doesn't happen?

Thanks!

If you are looking for (example) AA to match your US status look in the AA forum. I believe you want this thread:

Delta's formal program is here:

...and you are correct that US Airways is not included. You will need to search in the DL forum to see if there are exceptions or alternate programs for other carriers.

Hello!
Anybody knows, which of skyteam' airlines does status match now? Exclude Delta.
Thanks in advance.

Mail from DC:

...Thank you for your email,
Regrettably we are unable to process your request,
As bmi has now been sold to British Airways all status matches and good will tier upgrades have been suspended....

I was going to try this, but you need to take a flight on OK to get the match.

Turkish Airlines is matching other airline statuses.

Was able to match my DL Gold Medallion to TK Elite, which is Star Alliance Gold. That made my international trip for A3*G a lot easier.

Status Match
 

Hi guys,

I'm currently Gold with SQ, but I've become a bit fed up with their offerings. What are some airlines that are currently offering status match, in particular in Asia, Europe, or North America?

Thanks in advance!
