SkyTeam Status Match - ITA Airways

[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

Cheers,
Matt.

Ended up re-applying with the same account and QFF digital card on the 29th July, but used a scribble edit to circle the ‘Platinum’ on my Qantas card this time.

Approved for Volare Executive to 01/26 just this afternoon.

Cheers,
Matt.

Interestingly I was checking my account last night for the first time in a few months and found some points had mysteriously been credited to the account. Found out that my AF redemption flights GVA-CDG and CDG-DXB had been credited

Fight club rules?

Must be their points club?

Website is now showing "Executive" until 1/26 + 10,000 points. Happy with that.

I’ve been rejected as a QF WP

Why not match to Vietnam Airlines instead?

Well, the ITA match doesn't cost USD299 to get SkyTeam Elite Plus

Nor does it potentially morph into a mainstay Star Alliance status card

At this point in time I’d love for the ITA card to turn into a star alliance gold card valid through to Jan 2026.

Check how many airlines are honouring ITA status. ;-)
Not very "Skyteam" if you ask me.

I think you'll be fortunate if ITA matches translate into Frequent Traveller status (Star Silver).
I suspect that half of China has ITA status at this stage.

If I were Miles & More.... I would give all ITA status holders who matched = Frequent Traveler.
Any ITA matches where the member has taken at least X flights using their status on ITA = Senator.

Booooo - how about ITA Executive matches get LH Senator, and the bum-on-seat ITA Executives get LH HON Circle?

I'm Executive to 01/25 with no points so guess mine will lapse

Well, yes. I have experienced that myself

Even some of the airlines that *are* supposedly ITA partners don’t seem to honour the benefits (looking at you, Aerolíneas Argentinas)

This isn't BMI, folks
