Did you buy some of their miles or join the Club? Curious? Thanks!

Hi all, if you buy miles in order to qualify for the status match, can you use these miles to discount the cash price of any TAP ticket? If not then what easy way is there to get some use for these miles? Thanks in advance.

Yes I've spent a couple of hours on their website as well as simulating booking for cash, Miles Only and Miles&Cash and I can't find the answer. Miles Only and Miles&Cash bookings seem to have a fixed number of miles needed, no sliding scale between miles and cash as other airlines do.

Can anyone else help please? If I buy the minimum 2,000 miles will I actually be able to use them for any TAP booking or will I just resign to spending the €70 knowing I will not be able to use them? Thanks

Hi NoY,
I am wondering whether you have sent an email to Air Portugal and then you received the email which inform you of your successful status match? I submitted the application about at the end of March and bought the miles, however, I have not received any email to tell me I am eligible or not. A little worried about not being accepted.
Thanks a lot.

Started the process today. Joined the programme, showed my AF/KLM Gold (SkyTeam Elite Plus) and Club TAP Miles&Go. Fingers crossed they accept it and do the status match.

HI. I just joined their FFP, purchased points & then a few days later got the e-mail. I used my BA OW Emerald to request the match. I did not e-mail them after my application etc was submitted online. Good luck!

I came here looking for the same thing, leodrio. I was accepted for a match on 11 MAR, and said that they would send digital card by 20 APR. I did not receive mine. I'm not complaining, there are more important events right now, but I wonder how they will handle this. I'll wait and see, I'm certainly not going to contact them now.

Hi. I wrote to TAP just beacuse they didn't give me any feedback whether my application was accepted or not. And they replied me in just 15mins and said my application had been accepted and my account would update by 21st, Apr. I think it's Lisbon time, so, the card is on the way!
