SkyTeam Status Match - ITA Airways

[Thibault]

Couldn't you just do it again later in 2024? Just create a new account to gift to

The app lets me gift status again to an other Volare account.
It restricted me up until the status was extended again.

Could potentially recreate a dummy account in January next year to get Elite Plus for a further one year.

Greetings.

Anyone have problem logging in the account in the app?

Seems OK on the website but have to reset password twice.

My app (in iOS) now just seems to open the mobile web site; there’s no native features for an app. I didn’t try and navigate to sign in

Anyone have any luck recently trying to get a match recently? I've read that there are mostly denials happening

Don’t stress. You’re not missing out on much

I believe those matches were offered only during specific (albeit repeated and long-running) promos.

You might be able to get a match/challenge with Garuda, Delta or Virgin Atlantic instead if you want SkyTeam status.

Adding some DPs to the thread:

MU - status not recognised in system but station manager at MEL took a photo of the card and manually issued a lounge voucher. PVG lounge dragons equally helpful.

MF - status not recognised in system and station manager straight out refused to honour, saying what the system says is the absolute source of truth. Very disappointing.

I flew with Aerolíneas Argentinas this week and had my ITA Airways number on the booking. AR is one of the airlines that AZ should actually have a proper partnership with.

At check-in, they tried to charge me for my checked bag, telling me that my ITA Airways card only allowed me to accrue miles. After I repeated three times that my membership was SkyTeam Elite Plus (not the base level as they were telling me), and that this includes an additional checked bag, they called someone and eventually relented. I didn't get any Sky Priority benefits though such as priority boarding.
