Star Alliance status match from BA Gold/GGL
Anyone had any joy recently matching from BA Gold/GGL to a Star Alliance member airline? I have matched with UA within the past 5 years so they won't repeat the deal unfortunately.

This thread was originally posted on BA forum, however, because it is more about Star Alliance than BA, it has been moved to this forum section.

SQ matched me a few weeks ago as GGL - but I do have quite a lot of Asia travel booked (albeit none currently with SQ).

Typically TK is the go to for *A, but I do believe they require some segments on TK metal these days for the match to stick after a trial period. There is a long running thread in the TK forum for it:
TK status match (2017 onwards)
