Just came across this offer on Etihad’s site! They are running a new Status Match offer similar to the one we saw early in 2014. It doesn’t look like it is a simple status match based on the terms such as only a limited amount of Gold Cards will be issued and they reserve the right to select who gets them. Based upon having to supply mileage statements I’m guessing that if you hold status in an airline but don’t fly with them (think of the old Cathay Pacific Marco Polo status provided with select Amex Platinum cards) or only earn miles through credit card spend (think select U.S. credit cards that offer status) they will more than likely not status match you. Find all the details of this offer here
Here is how to go about applying for a status match (You have to apply by March 15, 15)
- Existing Etihad Guest members: Send us a scanned copy of
your Gold card with another airline loyalty programme, copy of your latest miles
statement along with your Etihad Guest membership number to EYGCorporate@etihad.ae - Non-Etihad Guest members: Send us a scanned copy of your
Gold card with another airline loyalty programme, copy of your latest miles
statement along with your full name, email ID, date of birth, physical address
and telephone number to EYGCorporate@etihad.ae
and these are the terms and conditions of the offer
