The Air France KLM Flying Blue Status Match offer that is continually on offer for various countries will be partially ending on June 13 as that will be the last day U.S. and Canadian residents will be able to apply for a match. All other eligible countries will continue to be able to apply after that date.
TIP: If you miss out on the Flying Blue offer you can still get yourself SkyTeam elite status by matching your airline or hotel elite status to Vietnam Airlines Lotusmiles. Click here to learn more and to apply for the Vietnam Airlines paid status match
The offer is run by Loyalty Status Co. who have spearheaded the new chapter in the status match world with pay for play matches. That’s the difference with these matches – they aren’t free but they also are not a ‘trial’ status match whereby you have fly a certain amount flights to retain the status. No, instead this paid status match opportunity gives you full elite status for a complete 12 months from date your match is approved.
This offer allows elite members of numerous non-SkyTeam airline programs to receive Air France KLM Flying Blue Silver, Gold or Platinum Elite Status for twelve months. Unfortunately for this round Canadian and U.S. residents cannot match to Platinum – only to Silver or Gold.
