Air Berlin status match

[Princess Fiona]

April is still close to a fortnight away. I don't think delaying is a good idea with these things. I would imagine AB has set itself a limit as to how many matches they will make.



Please report back if some lounge agent denies you entry unless you change the FF number in your booking to AB.



Are you able to provide a link to this benefit?

Excellent article by Chris at AusBT on the AB benefits

My oneworld tier status - oneworld

Denied again! What am I doing wrong?

Your Etihad status is equatable with topbonus classic status, also there is no match possible.

Ok I'm going to email airberlin today

Emailed TK Gold last night. let's see what they say.

Amazing response time.
Sent mine off, with no particular interest last night, and the match came through around 2am this morning.
Matched to TK Elite.

Still not sure that it will provide much in the way of benefits for me, alongside the existing QF and TK for OW and Star Alliance, but can't complain about the two minute time investment in the process.

Thanks for the tip - and also for the AustBT link posted by PF.

Good luck with that.
I see you have TK also? That should work if United doesn't.

 

[vitagen]

I might try that if united doesn't work, I think my TK may have expired down to Silver

 

[pagingjoan]

Oh dear. That was careless!

 

[vitagen]

Fingers crossed!

Success with EY Gold -> topbonus Gold.

Many thanks for bringing this to my attention.

 

[vitagen]

I got mine matched to united gold

 

[Sbv72]

Success with EY Gold -> topbonus Gold.

Many thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I have been denied twice trying to matching to EY Gold.

I will have to resort to AA Platinum Challenge to get OW Sapphire.

 

[Isochronous]

Success matching from TK Gold. Looking forward to receiving my card in the mail!

 

[GCS]

I was matched from Agean Miles+Bonus gold.

This has to be the easiest Status Match ever!
Except for poor Sbv72.
Was there a reason given in your rejection notification?
Do you have another program you could use for one last attempt?

I've sent them a couple with my statement from TK Elite (I can't find my card) haven't heard back, however I did get rejected with my VA gold.

I think VA was excluded in the T&Cs, though, as a partner.

Yep I saw that but worth a shot. I've resent the email with my TK Gold statement without actual physical card so will see what happens.

Would be great if they could match and I'm way short on SC with VA for renewal and will be doing more OW flying over the next 12 months than *A.
