I'm so disappointed that I matched right before all of the COVID restrictions. I went to Portugal last fall for the first time and fell in love with it and had hoped to go several times this year - the IAD-LIS flight is so convenient for me. It would be so nice if they extended the matches an extra year.

I'm going through the process now:
- Applied with my BA Gold card on the 22nd November
- I send an email on the 3rd December asking for an update. No response
- Got an email on the 24th December saying that my 'Status Match Campaign Application has been Validated'.
- I bought the Club Basic about 5 mins later
- Got an email within 10 mins that my 'Status Match Campaign has been approved,' and I'd get promoted to Gold within 15 days

I obtained the status match in July (I am a BA Silver) and due to COVID I have been unable to use it. I see the various airline programmes are extending status for a further year. Is this likely in this case?

Yesterday I received the following email from Miles&Go:
If you have obtained your status through flown Status Miles or flown segments, do not worry, because we will extend your current Gold or Silver status for at least 12 months.
Nice move, but seems to exclude those who received status through the status match campaign..

I matched in April, and though I flew a bit in the summer, nowhere near enough to requalify. It’d be a nice gesture if they extend, but if they don’t, there’ll be other matches/challenges to play with when the industry gets going again.

My guess is they’ll do just that, so the status match folks will be under the bus. Hope I’m wrong and they’re just treading carefully on commercial sensitivity.

The other useful one is to nominate another member for Gold status along with yours:

I heard they removed that from the status match later last year, but it's there in mine (from April).

I did a status match a year ago with expiration in the end of April. My status has not been extended. Have not been on a plane for 14 months now. Anyone else in the same situation and got their status extended? Any use in contacting the airline and kindly asking for an extension. Feels a little cheated since I payed 80e for this.
