Status Match
Hi Everyone
does anyone know if QF have AirNZ status matching available please? I am doing more Au travel and going to be easier with QF status to match my NZ. I couldn’t see anything current on web site. Thanks

I don't think that Qantas generally does.
you could do a status crossover to AA - it does offer challenges to its gold (OW Ruby), Platinium (OW Sapphire), Platinum Pro and Executive Pleatinum (both Ow Emerald) statuses
There is a fee to enrol but you will get status instamtly and as long as you maintain the quarterly requirements / meet the annual requirement , you will keep the status.
Platinum would give you lounge access for economy flights
AA redemption rates are generally better than Qantas's
If you are looking for a status match anf have no intent/expectation of doing enough to maintain the status, this would not be worth it

Hi Everyone, has anyone been successful with the Qantas Tier Accelerator program recently? Do they take into account previous Status Credits from before the status challenge started or must all 200 Status Credits be earned AFTER the challenge starts?
