Status Match 2022: When Does Offer End?
Hi all! Just saw there's a new opportunity to status match to Virgin Atlantic Gold status (for the Clubhouse lounges). Does anyone know if this offer expires at some point? (I only see a date of status extensions ending in March 2022, but nothing on how long the matches are being offered for)

At the moment, it looks like an open ended offer, but of course in that case, they can pull the promotion any time they like.

Has anyone been successful with submitting a status match recently?
I've been attempting to match from Qantas but when I try to submit I see this message (obviously outdated as it refers to it being "nearly Easter"):
Sorry, you’ve caught us on the hop, and not just because it’s nearly Easter. While we’re doing some important spring cleaning behind the scenes, you won’t be able to request status match. Please keep checking back for further updates.
My booking is for July so have a bit of time to get it sorted, but concerned that the offer has been ended or in the process of being ended?

Thanks - looks like I was a week too late.
I received a response this morning: "Thank you for your interest in our status match, however we no longer offer a status match with Qantas"
Now the fun will be to try and cancel/refund these flights and rebook my trip on oneworld.

Does anyone know how close to the flight the status match goes through? I had email confirmation that my status match was confirmed in July, and assumed it might have gone through on August 1st as my flight is in a couple of weeks and the email said I would receive the match just before the flight. Anyone know what virgin constitutes as just before?
