Match status to virgin as gold.

Took a bit of time but granted

online chat

Use the feedback form online to request a status match. Very quick and seamless process! Matched for 4 month trail. Submit: A photograph or scanned copy of your passport A photograph or scanned copy of your membership card (front and back) for your other airline’s frequent flyer program A statement for the same membership showing your flights for the previous two months For Qantas members, a statement can be obtained by emailing QF Frequent Flyer.

As per United's status match program. 120 day trial granted instantly but can select a future date to start. Noted in the T&Cs there are some limitations during the trial period, mainly reciprocal benefits for Star Alliance airlines (such as lounge access)

As a result of the recent status match offer.

Contacted SQ via their app chat. They asked if I had any recent or upcoming flights with them - I had an upcoming LAX-SIN-MAA flight. Emailed me a form to fill in, plus had to show 24 months of flight history with QF, and screenshot of QF status. Took a couple of weeks but it came through a day after my flight.

Send copy current Qantas membership card

Used the feedback form to request status match. Took about 4 emails, because they think I didn't qualify since my membership year ends in less than 2 months, even though I earned more than enough to maintain Qantas Platinum for the following year. Eventually they upgraded my status to Elite for a trial period of 4 months. Take any international flight with Turkish Airlines within the trial period will cement the status for another 8 months (1 year total)

Contact their Velocity Email, they will ask for your account statements and card and voila Was matched for 12 months from Qantas Platinum, no challenge required

Used the online form. 120 day trial status was granted instantly

Contacted Turkish Airlines via “Feedback” on their web page. Needed to - (a) create a Miles & Smiles account; (b) provide copy of Qantas FF card (screen grab of Qantas digital card was used) (c) provide copy of name page from passport; (c) provide “a statement for the same membership showing your name, membership number and flights for the previous two months (not boarding pass or ticket)”. This wasn’t immediately easy to do! Match granted for four months trial period, requirements for ongoing status are : “You are required to perform at least one international flight with Turkish Airlines in this period. “At the end of the trial period, if you have at least one international flight in your membership account, which you have performed with Turkish Airlines, your Elite membership is extended for 8 more months (i.e. it remains valid for 1 year in total after the match). “If you reach 15,000 Status Miles in the international flights you will perform with Turkish Airlines in the first year of your Elite membership, your membership is extended for 1 more year (i.e. it remains valid for 2 years in total after the match).”

Saw the Business flyer status match, sent them an email with my Name, Frequent flyer details on Virgin Australia, ABN number and a photo of my Qantas Frequent Flyer Silver Card. Waited 2 days status matched to Virgin Australia Silver

Asked for status match via Web form, was sent another form to fill out. Received match to KF Elite Gold the same week. Had 2x SQ itineraries at the time of request.

Received the following match challenge 10 days after submitting request through online portal: To maintain this status through the rest of the year, simply fly 6 Premier qualifying flights (PQF) and earn 2000 Premier qualifying points (PQP) on our United® or United Express® flights between September 13, 2022 and January 10, 2023.

sent email with Premium Flight booking took 6 weeks but approved

Online search. Registered on the status matcher app. Have not sent proof of status.

I contacted China Airlines directly through the Contact Us / Feedback form on the website. It's not really intended for this kind of enquiry, but they acknowledge my request via email after a few days. I requested Qantas Platinum to China Airlines Paragon (go hard or go home). After about 3 weeks, I just received confirmation of Superior level, which they tell me is equivalent to Gold (2 levels below what I requested). Proof of current Qantas card was required; they accepted a screenshot from my Qantas app.

I wrote to Iberia through facebook messenger. I explained I had Platinum on Qantas and had recently moved to Spain and wanting to start flying Iberia. They asked me to send in a screen shot of my card, if I had any planned flights booked with them, which I did and what were my plans for next year. I told them I would be making some flights to Latin America. They came back after a few days and offered me Plata. A bit disappointing as this is equivalent to Silver on Qantas. But it is better than nothing and their sliver offers a little more than Qantas does.

Emailed 1 future flight in Premium Economy, followed by a detailed email on expected travel (pre-pandemic level) and report status of 2 years of heavy travel with Qantas

Called Delta rewards club to enquire, and they granted status immediately.

As part of their status match promotion

Applied online to customer service department and received response within 24 hours requesting copy of QF FF card showing current status, activity statement and details of upcoming NZ flights (as we're in midst of Covid crisis just had two upcoming NZ domestic trip bookings). Within further 24 hours status match was approved and Airpoints account updated to reflect new status. Most impressed by the speed and efficiency with which request was processed.

Qantas Platinum One and Virgin Platinum to Krisflyer Gold. Sent copy of flight history and photo of membership cards to Krisflyer. Approved after about a month. Perhaps worth noting that I was previously Krisflyer Gold and missed out on re-qualification by about 12,000 miles (38,000 miles accrued from four business class flights).
