I previously wrote about the value of having status in a airline or hotel loyalty program, here. This time round I’m going to share how you can get a status match with another airline or hotel, if you already have status in an existing airline or hotel loyalty program. Simply call up or send an e-mail to the airline or hotel program that you wish to get a status match with. Inform them you already have status in another airline or hotel loyalty program. They will usually ask for some evidence of your status in a existing loyalty program. Once the evidence is provided you will get a status match.
A status match is not guaranteed, it depends on the hotel/airline and also who’s dealing with your request, but Status Matcher is a useful website to use to see what the likelihood are of you being approved or denied a status match. Status Matcher is a forum where people share the result of a status match request.
