Prince of Travel Elites
So I’m a dual resident – my “home” is in Toronto but I spend a significant amount of time in the US for work. I matched my status to AA Platinum Pro – which was approved and got me Elite 50K. Now, I also had gotten an Cdn Amex Reserve card back at the end of July and reached the minimum $10K spend within a few weeks. So does that mean my status will bump up to Elite 75K on November 30th? Also, if it bumps up and I don’t end up taking that qualifying AC flight – will they even be able to remove the status?
curious if two one way flights would work instead of one round trip?
How about status matches for Canadian residents with status on US airlines? Delta Platinum Medallion in my case
Hi Ricky, do you think if I can change the address on my profile to U.S. and then switch back after the status match? Have you ever encountered any issue from compliance team by doing so? Thank you!
What’s unclear to me is whether the round-trip flight has to be between the US and Canada since this status match opportunity is targeted for US residents.
how they verify electronically of status in other programs??
They’re using AI text recognition models in China to match the text from the photo with your submitted information. They have one employee. Air Canada really cut costs on this one.
That’s supposed to be one of the selling points of StatusMatch.com, to be able to electronically link-up to most airlines’ systems and verify status match eligibility.
thx
anyone try to send fake screenshot?
Thanks for sharing this, Ricky! Do you know how e-Upgrades work if you were to match into Aeroplan 50K? Do you get the corresponding number of e-Upgrades once the status match clears, after you fly the 1 RT AC flight?
You should get the corresponding number of eUpgrades for 2021 (which is 40 credits for 50K status), but those have to be redeemed for flights that take place in 2021. Then, if you successfully renew your status for 2022 with a round-trip flight, you’d get another set of 40 credits for 2022.
You could rollover up to 50 eUpgrades into 2022 by holding a premium Aeroplan credit card. The timelines are also shaping up for Aeroplan to offer this as a perk on the Chase Aeroplan Mastercard, in my opinion – but we’ll have to wait and see about that.
