It's a bit odd that Hilton was one of the hotel chains listed in the initial announcement, yet the Hilton in BsAs reflagged several years ago. Other hotel chains seem to be relatively more prominent in Argentina, such as Hyatt (with two PHs in the country, including a very prestigious property that's highly respected by the locals in BsAs) and Starwood (two Sheratons and a LC in BsAs, although the Sheraton in the part on the Argentina side of the Falls has reflagged).
In my many years of using a lot of hotels in Buenos Aires, the Hilton in Buenos Aires seemed to get more fashionable Argentine conferences/attendees and other events at and around it than the Starwood hotels in Buenos Aires.
If AR gave me the status match or even conditioned it on flying a handful of AR flights, I probably would have considered adding them to my future travel mix. I still may, but they have a rather well-deserved historical reputation and were thus not the carrier of choice for frequent flying Argentines doing lots of long-haul trips.

Does anybody have the number for Aerolineas Plus???
The webstie shows this number: 0810-222-86527
But, I'm unable to call it via Skype because I believe it's a toll free number.
Looking for a non "toll free" number I can call via Skype down to Argetina. I speak Spanish well enough where I think I could get them to do the match over the phone.
No luck for me via email.
Thanks.

I finally received a reply from AR's spokesperson:
The fact that this means they altered the terms and conditions after the fact is ridiculous.
because of the number of request received, Aerolíneas Plus had decided to restrict the match only to argentine and southamerican residents.
