Thanks.. that works. I know they're a partner, but do miles with EK credit as status miles?

Good question. Looks like no. Sorry forget that one.

"...Only miles earned from flights with TAP and Star Alliance members are considered to be Status Miles and count towards Silver and Gold status..."

Thanks for the info. Will get my head around the earn/burn table. Any ideas how it works on codeshares? I have flight booked with United in P (200 percent), but then return on Swiss on UA flight number/United ticket.. also in P. Swiss on P is 100.. so it the marketing or operating carrier’s points?

I think perhaps it depends on the flights operator. Codeshare makes no sense. Not 100% sure.

Mine as well. Thanks to everyone who has contributed! Paid 70e for the miles, which opened up a ton of European airlines for intra-Europe travel. Great deal!

Yes they do, or at least within a couple of hours

My TAP Gold status match not been processed yet

Unfortunately I've still not had my TAP Gold status processed via the Status match yet.

I received an email on 29th April 2020 saying that my Status match had been accepted and that I would receive an email along with digital card by May 16th.

I emailed them yesterday to chase up but haven't heard back from them yet....

I applied on April 16th and was told by May 16th. Perhaps wait until the 29th? So it's a full month from the day you applied.

Keep checking online.. in the 'client area'. My account changed to Gold without warning (applied mid April).

You still only need 25,000 status miles to maintain gold status. I got in touch with TAP this week via email:

Em resposta ao seu e-mail, informamos que deverá acumular 25.000 milhas para a manutenção do seu estatuto.
Adicionalmente, gostaríamos de relembrar que todos os seus contactos deverão ser feitos para este mesmo endereço de e-mail [email protected] ou através da nossa linha Miles&Go Gold.
A TAP Air Portugal agradece a sua preferência.
