New Vietnam Airlines paid status match offer

Just noticed this on ET (an ad - looked like a story) :) . Reasonably interested as I'm vaguely contemplating doing some SkyTeam flying next year. That is, until I saw the fees: US$100- $300 !! Ya kidding me.

The last status match I noticed (and took up) run by Statusmatch.com was for LATAM and fallible memory thinks it was ~US$80 for a Plat match.
Yeah it's been around for a wee while ..I decided not to bother.
 
Ya kidding me.
Their entire Lotusmiles program is now required to complete Marketing101.

Note their complementary upgrade wording "Get a free upgrade to Business Class if the member purchases an Economy or Premium Economy ticket, but when checking in, the seats of the class tickets are full, and Business Class seats are available (priority order applies)".

Would be worth it if taking the SAS eurobonus 1M points challenge!
I don’t know if it’s changed recently or improved but just be aware that SkyTeam can get very funny about lounge access if the FFP program isn’t on your boarding pass.
In the past we have been refused lounge entry at a number of ports but thankfully we just buy J tickets now so no problems. Haven’t flown Y on SkyTeam for a while to test if they have improved their system

It was 199 USD and for 6 months - LATAM Pass Extends Its Status Match Program. Use This To Get Perks When Flying Delta..
 

Found it - was US$80. QF Plat to LATAM Black.
