EY Gold Status match

Not open for further replies.
Yep, just checked today and I've also been matched to Gold from QF SG. Submitted my application on July 2nd.
 
I just noticed I never included my membership number in my original request :oops: Sent them a follow up with the membership number but I'm not getting my hopes up.
 
End of the game :-(

I just got that email as well. Applied on June 4th. Matched from QF WP. I guess better late than never :lol:

The email mentioned that the card has been dispatched. I guess that means I can use it to access VA lounges now :lol:

Got my email this morning, been matched from VA Plat, not sure I need it but I submitted the request to see what would happen. I applied back in July i think
 
Applied 3rd July got email yesterday !!!!!
Matched from QF SG, yay !!

If only i had the budget to take advantage of their triple miles F promotion lol.

First world problem i suppose lol
 
So a question regarding lounge access with this now.

I book a VA flight from PER -> DPS in Y. I use my VA FF number in the book as I want the points there. VA Gold and above would have access to the SIA lounge at PER airport. Would I be able to us my EY gold status (which gets my VA lounge access) to enter the SIA lounge?

If not, would booking the VA flight to DPS and giving my EY FF number make any difference?

Thanks to those in the know.

The (EY) terms and conditions state that access is permitted to the VA lounges only.

Has this changed recently? About 2 years ago, my EY Gold card got me access to the Koru lounge in SYD when flying with VA to AUH in Y.

Edit: come to think of it, I might have been flying on an EY code, maybe that was why

Thanks, but obviously not the answer I was hoping for :)

Regarding the other benefits. Ie baggage, priority boarding etc. Would one need register thier EY FF number on the booking rather than their VA to gain those benefits?

Do EY send out a physical card as part of a status match usually or must you request it ?
