UK Status Comp Query
It is now over 3 weeks since I registered for the Star Alliance Promotion as a BA Gold and I haven't received anything, despite the website saying it should take 2 weeks to get the materials from the * promotion people. I also haven't had anything yet from LH M&M my chosen *FF scheme.
Does any FT'er know how long things are taking on average, or have any contact details (email or phone number) so I can check the status of my application? I am quite keen to take several *A flights but am holding off until my registration and tier promotion is confirmed.

maybe they have been reading about all the forged documents from FT and are checking you out

I don't think it was wise for those who were so clearly taking the p*** to tell everyone this so publicly, since it will inevitably lead to further scrutiny of genuine applications.

My experiences are
Air Canada - processed upgrade within 2-3 weeks, card in 4-6.
BMI -Still not done after several weeks.
Friend with Lufthansa - 2 weeks for new card.
Frield with United - Nothing after several weeks.

I (and mrs pfd) applied at the beginning of February via United as we were already MP members. heard nothing for a month. emailed United MP as there is no email on the statusmatch website. United said to fax over the other program details (BA silver). 2 weeks later we have MP premier and cards arrived 2 weeks after that. No upgrade or lounge certs though. looks like this was matched directly by United and not via Star Alliance.

I and Mrs W registered for this in Feb - BMI diamond club. I got the *A upgrade vouchers about a month later - nothing for my wife. Nothing from Diamond Club for either of us - an unhelpful individual at their contact centre (evidently deluged by irate status-match customers) said there was no phone no for the Status Match organisation. and we just had to wait
This sort of treatment is counter-productive - it doesn't want to make me fly with a *A airline at all, if they can't even get this simple registration process right.

I shouldn't worry too much as my SAS match took almost 7 weeks to come through! I've received the upgrade certs and have gold status on the SAS website, but still no gold card.

e-mail address worked --- I think!
Well I used the email address suggested above a couple of days ago, and lo and behold, today I am Gold with BD. Now,of course it could be the email address or else the original application finally made it to the top of the pile.
My guess - email address.
