I guess it would depend on what you are matching from? Star gold that requires 100k miles a year maybe. Star gold that requires 20-50k would most likely match to OWS not OWE!

A skyteam elite plus can be had at 50k so not going to match to OWE I would think!

RJ offers a match but requires you fly a trip with them first before they will match.

No experience with S7

AB is a 12month match. They also can recind this offer anytime so keep that in mind, they changed it abruptly recently to only Swiss german etc residents so you never know

It doesn't appear that there is a time frame on the promo. So to send request in now or to wait closer to flights? hmmm....

Just because there is NO STATED expiry does NOT guarantee it will ve available closer tp ones flights. Of course everyone is free tp do as they please 😃

Look at the case of TK. They ran a MATCH for years that was generous then out of the blue its gone this past week andbecame a challenge.

AB especially is finicky!

Email [email protected] and ask for a status match. If granted you will be given less than 1 month to complete your first flight, and then you will be matched for this and the next calendar year.

*A may get you only OWS unless you have GREAT flying history. My friend has STEP and got OWE.

Turkish is running a challenge, but other than that, I'm afraid no.
