Four-Year Status Match with Starlux

My experience when applying was this was a rather slow process. I'm sure I went weeks without hearing updates at times.

Because QF didn't issue new cards during Covid, my QF card is expired even though I'm still WP.

Anyone else had this issue? Just send the expired card with the explanation and screenshot from the app perhaps?

I just did similar for my VA WP. Also threw my QR Plat into the mix though I've had no activity on it

I unexpectedly got a replacement card because QF Money was active. But as mentioned above, I should have just done a screen shot from the app, as the card is just initials / surname. Also, my card has all the QFF money details (which I had to blank out...)!

BTW, I just received the email with the 30 day holding pattern. We'll see what comes first - Status Match or entry to OW!
 
Two emails through this morning:
Dear exceladdict,
Thank you for your patience.
We are glad to inform you that your application of Other Airline Member Card Tier Match has been approved. Your card tier will be upgraded to Explorer and you will receive an upgrade notification by mail from COSMILE with the newest card tier validity.

We look forward to serving you again in the near future.
And seperately:

Congratulations! Your tier with COSMILE has been upgraded to EXPLORER.
You can enjoy the tier privileges of the current tier until Nov 16, 2023.

This was from QF Gold. Worst case scenario, I'll be looking to match back somewhere else in two years' time!
 
Late October, I think.
About the 24th based on your previous posts. I lodged mine on the 25th. Let’s see what happens - hopefully I don’t get caught up in the initials on my card v full name trap…

Nothing seen nor heard on my application 1 week on ☹️
 
Six months on getting the SM I was going to mention that I never received one of those nice box sets then out of the blue today I received an email saying it’s on its way!
 
Everyone with a expiry date in 2023 will have their status extended to 31/12/23
If you take 6 flights with Starlux before that date your status will be extended to 31/12/25
Just saw the email also. My “Insighter” is still showing Exp 06 Dec 2023 so I might get a couple of extra days!
