    Hi All,

    Just noticed an ultra hot deal:

    http://www.ausbt.com.au/free-etihad-guest-frequent-flyer-gold-tier-status-match

    Looks like a match on ANY airline as far as I can see. Limited to 1000 people only but here’s the link to see for yourself:

    Hope this helps,

    Hengli123 or LeTigre

    Love a good status match! Wonder if there are any left by now? May as well apply and see how it goes!

    Thanks for the information LeTigre.
    Will see what happens after my application.

    Does anyone think they will actually cut this off at the 1,000 mark or is that maybe just marketing spin to create a flood of applications, maybe they are just going to bulk up their email database with high flyers for competing airlines?

    Now that’s an interesting idea…

    I get quite a lot of junk mail from Etihad but it is impossible to say what the motive is for this promotion. Considering that they are offering it for free, having a go is still worth it.

    My “worry” was that by the time I applied the 1,000 mark would have gone, so I added a brief resume of my flights, the families and some staff in the hope this would entice them to status match.

    As it happens they have very nice flights out of MXP to JNB (my main route) so it would not be a great hardship to switch from Swiss once I’ve re-qualified next month. On Mrs. LP’s insistence I asked Qatar if they would status match and they said no, so I said I was not prepared to give up my benefits and will not fly them.

    I applied this morning so I’m curious how long it will take them to reply, one way or the other!

    Sorry to bump this thread, but has anyone had any response from Etihad?

    I’ve not even received an acknowledgement of my email though I know it was delivered and read.

    No reply yet – I sent my application on Monday.
    Will post any updates that I get back from Etihad.

    The T&C says you will be advised by May 30 if successfull.

    I doubt they will cap at 1,000 it’s just too small a number. Allowing over two weeks for submissions, I’m sure they would have got 1,000 on the first day or two.

    Will see what happens, I already have gold but Mrs First Class hasn’t, hopefully they will match one of her other cards.

    Etihad aren’t actually publicising this deal extensively, and of all the media, it has thus far only reached the Australian BT magazine.

    there was a similar offere at the end of last year. I applied for a silver status match in February before my tier expired. It is almost 2 months and nothing has been done. Apart from some emails of dispute from a variety of differnt staff that is as far as it has gone. they are a hopeless crew to dealwith customer service sadly. they could really improve this aspect of their guest offering.
