SkyTeam Status Match - ITA Airways

[dairyfloss]

Another status match valid through February 2025 (via 10K qualifying bonus points) with lots of eligible Airlines:

They’re even accepting expired status - “Only valid cards will be accepted as well as those with an expiration date no earlier than January 2023.”

This will be my third status match with ITA. Wish they would hurry up and become a full member of Star Alliance already!

Actually good until the end of December 2025, if matched

Thanks, I’ve updated my post.

Doesn’t this current SM prohibit those who have been matched previously?
I’d say most people who undertook the lst match would still have status until next year thanks to the generous extensions

From the SM website:-

Yes. But get a bit creative with your “temporary” contact details (you can always update them later after successful SM) and use one of your remaining top tier status and Bob’s your uncle.

Thanks for sharing! Just submitted an application using my LATAM Black status I got from a LATAM status match last year!

I have submitted my status match request using my Finnair Gold status that finishes up at the end of the year
Hopefully this will lead to getting Miles & More Senator status.
That would mean having Star Alliance Gold but also being able to redeem for Swiss First Class.
Maybe a visit to the Lufthansa FCT Frankfurt along with the Swiss first class lounges in Zurich hopefully just after the LHR lounge crawl

I tried, but the website wasn’t recognising upload of PP and FF details. Pretty sure both files are under the limit.

Any other tips?

Presumably it’s not the massive IT glitch?

I can upload (been trying since Thursday), but it errors out when I try to submit - trying for QF. Not sure what's going on, but Safari wouldn't let me upload at all, while Chrome would let me upload but then I got the error.

Yeah, tried QF WP from iPad. I’ll try again in the morning from PC…

The website is rather flaky...adter I uploaded a screenshot of my Qf Plat card and pdf of passport, I could not submit as button was greyed out....tried several times but same issue...just about to give up when the submit button suddenly no longer was greyed out and I quickly submitted! I wonder whether the submit button was greyed out as you files were very slowly being uploaded...but who knows!

Sounds good Azza, but unless you have a bounty of M&M miles your chances of securing LH or LX First class are close to nil.

Worked fine on my PC this morning. Submitted and now we wait. Possibly not good timing for me, my card has "Jul 2024" expiry on it. I guess if I'd waited until 01 Aug.

I think this was the issue for me - I was using files that were about 1.5mb each, but then changed their size to about 100kb each and it submitted fine.

I just checked and I'm still Club Executive until 1/25 but never used it and not sure that I will but it's nice to have it

 

[henrus]

Applied for this most recent match, am I correct in thinking they’re also giving away 10,000 points to redeem on something or qualifying points something different?

 

[Kefci2000]

Assume no issues if you previously matched to Alitalia back in the day?

Unfortunately I am unable to get the status match page/link to appear when I log in; has anyone else had similar?

New account or old one?

 

[dairyfloss]

Status match rejected for invalid reason. New ITA account with new QF / OW emerald match. Only thing which might have been questionable was a digital card submission vv a photo/scan of the real deal.

Will decide later if I can be bothered trying again

has unfortunately been rejected.

As stated in the Terms and Conditions, " Please note that no Status Match requests will be considered valid if the Origin Status of the Loyalty Card is equal to or lower than the current Club in the Volare program.

Cheers,
Matt.
