Got it. 25K by next May, or 37.5K by May 2014.

Then again, doing 20K closer to May 2014 on A3 will renew it even further out without a lapse in *G, and A3 allows one-way redemptions so those miles can be put to use earlier.

Check your account online.....a nice surprise may await you:D The first many status matchers know about the granting of the status match is by seeing the upgraded status online.

same for me I've never received an email to confirm my status matching :D

"Forwarted" to relevant department
 

Got the following email 2 days ago after i'd sent in my FB Gold card copy, and a FB statement for 2012 by email - not sure if they're gearing up to say no or it'll just show up as *A Gold on the website one of these days... anyone else got something similar ?

it'll just show up as *A Gold on the website one of these days ;)

Same for me!! ^

And it did ! Gold status valid till for 2 years - sweet !

Hrmm, I sent a request on the 19th, got an email back on the 25th asking for them to attach Card scan and statement (which I had already provided in the original email), and sent back on the same day.

Haven't heard anything yet, I keep checking my miles&smiles account but its still showing classic. I hope they respond soon.

It's an exercise in patience (which I also did not have), sent the details several times and had almost given up and then all of a sudden I got the upgrade on the website.

Had this one too..Think I got this email 4 days after I submitted my request .And after 2 more days I checked my account online and realised I got the gold upgrade.

They're probably receiving an enormous surge in the number of requests (and subsequently delayed responses/reviews) - owing to the publicity over at BoardingArea and MilePoint for this 'free' *G.

Has anyone tried to match the non allied airline? Any successes with a QR Silver?

Thanks for your input!

Welcome on Flyer Talk percival12 and congrats on Gold ^

I wonder if the current strike will make status match easier or harder. And not sure if they will match AC*SE :)

IIRC someone match *G from another FFP?

I got matched to this last week and received an email from THY asking to validate my address (apparently it didn't accept it when I made my profile online). It's a U.S. address and I've emailed them twice, but haven't received a response.

In the meantime, I can't log in to my TK account, which just says:

Anyone else run into this?
