Email came same day as approved the app/web was updated. No cards yet. Very efficient so I am pleased with the process even though I was not personally matched since I am allready ba Gold.

Would love to know for sure IB’s methodology for processing these. Seems like some got their match in a matter of days (even when submitting a week or so after the offer was live), while some who submitted the very first day of the offer are still waiting. kauppias, your alphabetical order theory seems plausible, but seems they should be well through letters now based on evidence...perhaps they just took a break from processing these for the moment, or just that many more came through recently. All we can do is wait. Fingers crossed for sooner rather than later as I have more flights I need to book soon.

Yeah, who knows. Guess all we can do is speculate on the process. Thanks for your insights/experiences though kauppias, very helpful on this rather opaque offer.

I remember the AZ match that seemed to take ages back in the day and that was very frustrsting. But lets still remember this IB offer is very generous as it is a straight match not a fast track and also for over a year 👍 Platinums dont get OWE but other then that very nice offer even if it may takeawhile to process

Oh yes, the offer itself is very generous and straight forward for sure, sorry did not mean the offer itself, rather the process of it is somewhat unclear. Just would like to know so I can plan my loyalty accrual strategy for the next year (since AB is now gone and so is my status I maintained for a few years) and whom I should be flying. All in all, just first world problems I guess.
Lets hope for a quick resolution to the match
