Get a Flying Blue status match from a variety of airlines until the end of March. This will also give you certain privileges on Delta through Skyteam.

If you currently have elite status on any airline in the list (BMI is on the list), this is a good and easy way to give yourself an opportunity to status match back to another Star Alliance airline before the end of the year.

Nice offer!
Won't work for recent BMI folks with no card though.

Ya, I guess this one is just for those loyal DD addicts who got the BMI status last year. Or people who have achieved elite status in other more conventional ways.

...unless someone is really good with photoshop.

Thanks dude !

Are we sure this won't work with a screenshot of bmi status?

KLM does not have First

SuperFlyer · « **Reply #6 on:** March 17, 2011, 08:39:23 AM »

I'm going to tell them that I insist on a F.

Otherwise I will stop dealing with their miles.

chuchem · « **Reply #7 on:** March 17, 2011, 08:42:39 AM »

Air France has F for a crazy amount of miles. I think to the US its about 350000 miles

was wondering in reference to "ELI's" post on the main site tht w/ a US address you only get skyteam gold elite vs. gold elite PLUS ,
i did the match with a US address then switched to Israeli address will tht work for the plus, and how can i see what kind of skyteam status i got, all the temp. card says is flyblue GOLD and skyteam on top??
thanks

Eli · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2011, 03:25:00 PM »

I got approved but it also only showed Gold with no indication of Skyteam plus or elite.

What status did you match from?

According to Flying Blue's US site Gold gets Elite Plus http://www.klm.com/travel/us_en/flying_blue/membership_benefits/gold_benefits/gold_benefits_with_skyteam_airlines.htm
and According to Skyteam site also. http://www.skyteam.com/about/miles/status.html

They do say you need a picture of the membership card, not a screenshot of the account. That is most likely the reason some of you were denied.
