Four-Year Status Match with Starlux

[exceladdict]

Noticed this via Point Hacks just now: How to get a four-year status match with Starlux - Point Hacks

Until 31 December 2020, Starlux is offering a four-year status match to elite frequent flyers of many other airlines to its Explorer and Insighter tiers, though no official list is provided. If you think you qualify, here’s how to do the Starlux status match:

1. Enrol as a new Cosmile member if you haven’t already
2. Download the Tier Match Application Form [PDF] to complete
3. Attach a copy of your official flight record from the most recent year with the airline which you already hold status with. It should include departure date, origin and destination
4. Attach a copy of your current airline frequent flyer card, with both the front and back sides
5. Send everything off to [email protected] for processing
6. Expect to wait at least a month for the status match to be approved

Have thrown my hat in the ring, using VA gold and digital transaction activity screenshot. Let's see what happens!

Update:

Dear Exceladdict

Thank you for submitting the request.

We are regret to inform you that Gold Card of Virgin Australia airlines is not included in this program now.

If you are qualified with Platinum Card of Virgin Australia airlines before 31DEC20, we welcome you to submit the request again.

If anyone has had luck with VA Gold, I'd be keen to know, otherwise WPs are encouraged to apply

Also just noticed this via Taiwan's Starlux Airlines Has Renewed Their Status Match Campaign, Offering 4 Year Tier Match

How does one get just your flight history from the QF website without all other points earning details?

Well I totally forgot that I had applied for this match. In early December they questioned my name didn't quite match the name on my QF card. QF card just shows first and middle initial along with surname. I explained this and a copy of my passport was needed.

I just received an email telling me that my match to Insighter (their highest tier) was successful. My status is confirmed at that level until Jan 2025. Hopefully I'll be able to make use of it before it expires, but these days, who knows!

Membership packed arrived today. I have to say, it's very impressive in terms of a luxurious feel to it. I didn't take a picture of the packaging. But the membership card is metal and quite heavy. It's 3D embossed. The luggage tag is real leather and embossed with my name.

Wow they've done a good job with these.

Agreed. It really did feel special. The star in the middle of the card is actually a cut-out.

Received an email about it today. I think I will try again based on my QF SG.

It’s on my To Do list this w/e. Kicking myself I didn’t do the 4 yr match. At the time I didn’t think I would *ever* benefit. Then suddenly talk of joining OW!

With a July QF anniversary and probably no chance of retaining WP this year, an alternate OWE card in the wallet would be useful!

I'm just trying to a match with Virgin Platinum - is there a way to export my flights from the Virgin website or print the page

There used to be a "print" function that got enhanced a while ago. Printing the activity page from a browser should be ok?

Just submitted mine against QF WP.

As the say in the Heineken on Mars add - "Now we wait".

I'm pretty sure I just used either screen grab or print to PDF when I applied.
