Any Star Alliance carriers still doing outright status matches from AA? Emailed Copa and Avianca BR hoping they will still accept despite being past the deadline.

Some programs only match once in a life time others are more free handed with their matches.

But generally its best to match when you benefit the most

When does you elite+ end and now when does your Gold status end?

Congrats. Thinking of doing the same thing, although I have AB Gold thru feb still.

It's unclear whether or not my Alitalia card expires in March or August 2016 due to an unclear email from them. My Airberlin status is good thru Feb 2017.

You could re match feom ab gold to a new bout of Alata till 2017 but hurry ends soon so if you get your AB card before Jan 31 go for it.

Has anyone been successful matching to AB without the physical card? (Want to match from O6 in my case)

I did a status match for a family member to AB with a screen shot of account but that account had major activity on it. I doubt you will fare well with a O6 accout. With ZERO activity. Why not match with the card you used to match to O6 or has that since expired?

I actually do have activity but it is only 2 flights. Getting 4 mores flights on it in early March.

And I matched to O6 Gold from A3 silver, doubt that will get me anything interesting on AB.
