SAS Status Match

[henrus]

This might be of interest to some as SAS has just opened a paid status match:

https://sas.statusmatch.com

In short SAS Silver is 89 EUR, Gold is 199 EUR and Diamond is 349 EUR.

Virgin Silver / Qantas Silver = SAS Silver
Virgin Gold / Qantas Gold = SAS Gold
Virgin Platinum, Beyond/ Qantas Platinum, P1 or CL = SAS Diamond

Gold and Platinum on SAS are both SkyTeam Elite Plus which is the top tier in Skyteam meaning lounge access, priority etc.

It’s quite a broad SM but obviously pay to play.

Yep, I’ve just taken my Velocity Gold and paid the 199 EUR. There No point going for the diamond with my QF Plat as sky team elite plus is perfectly fine.

On my card worked out at AU$319 and it’s valid for the rest of your current euro bonus year plus 12 months so I’ll get about 20 months out of this.

Only thing I'll add is that I believe SAS use soft landings, so you'd get an extra 12 months of SkyTeam elite plus with a diamond match. But obviously no other benefits unless you fly SAS.
