I notice this thread started in 2018 and people are still successfully getting matches. Sorry, I haven't looked at the interim to see the full history.
So, is this status match sort of 'standing, no foreseeable end in sight' (the offer, not the status, of course)? Or has it come-and-gone in the period since 2018? I expect so; if so, how often/long do the match offers run for?
I plan to have some LATAM flights in December and this would be ideal to get
Preferente and access to the excellent LA International lounge at SCL. But of course I won't be able to apply until October to have the status for 3 months - no way would I retain it.
Hmmm ... as an aside, I just tried a dummy booking SCL-MVD-SCL to see if there is a DL codeshare available on the scheduled LA flight and got this message; no Delta
OR Partners on that sector?
(Before you check - yes, LA run flights those days)
