TAP Air Portugal Offering Status Match
TAP is offering 1,000 bonus miles when you enroll in the program during the month of March using promotion code BIRTHDAY01. There’s no actual activity required to earn those miles, but rather you just have to join the program.

Anyone have any luck with this yet? I submitted a screenshot of my Delta account page showing my platinum status and purchased miles 2 days ago, but haven't heard anything yet. I'm guessing it may take a week or 2?

My wife and I just made ourselves member but I did not buy the miles (80 E each for maybe a status match is not worth it) We are both BA Gold. If I get the match i would be very happy if not I did not lose the money.

I read about this on many blogs, but still didn’t really understand. The match is free or not? If one wants to extend the validity period, what is the minimum cost to do so? It seems that one can buy status miles, but then again that does not sound right.

it's not free - you have to buy miles or a club membership it seems for it to go through. Minimum spend is 87 euros. Given that it's cheaper than seat selection on upcoming flights and I get lounge access, it makes sense but won't for all. I had it reconfirmed by email that we have to wait until April 20 to get confirmation of the match which seems a long wait.
