This morning, by chance, I went to my Miles&More profile and got the pleasant surprise: in much less time than expected I was granted match status. I am not the only one who has noticed this, other readers have also reported to me that they have already received the level update, although no confirmation email has been received yet.
In this article:
Now, however, I am looking forward to receiving the Senator packet at home with luggage card and tag, Miles&More in fact is one of the few loyalty programs that continues to send, every year, the card to the member's home. This little piece of plastic for many loyalty programs has become only digital in the name of environmental sustainability, but for M&M is not the case, and cards are mailed to the homes of all elites.
I became a senator and now what am I going to do?
As expected, my card expires at the end of February 2026, I am now therefore at a twofold crossroads. What Star Alliance status to pursue and what to do with my Volare card. The status match was launched in recent days and is valid until June 10 and my advice is to join if you have Elite Volare status, no matter what it is and no matter whether or not you have Star Alliance flights scheduled in the coming months.
Now what am I going to do with the Miles&More status
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
The first doubt is simple: my loyalty program in the Star Alliance has always been Singapore Airlines' Krisflyer because of the ease of accumulating points and status (miles flown count) and because it is the only program of this alliance partner Memebership Rewards in Italy. Given that it is not possible to move points from one program to another and since I have already obtained the points needed to renew the card until September 2026 I have not yet decided what to do, also to avoid wasting piles of points here and there.
The other choice that I, as well as all FF Fly find themselves making now, is where to accumulate upcoming flights in preparation for status renewal until February 2027.
Undeniably, given the generosity of the Volare program, the answer in my opinion is only one. All flights where I can earn Volare Qualifying points I will accumulate on the Volare card, in the hope that sooner or later there will also be a merger of points (and not just the loyalty program).
Three reasons + one tip for doing the Status Match Miles&More
- The first is a material reason. To date, M&M Still distributes physical cards And the luggage tags, I know it's a fetish, but I collect them and it's not certain that they will be kept next year as well
- Many Status Matches are coming up from other loyalty programs, and it is undeniable that having the Senator or FTL level will help tremendously in applying for parity when these opportunities are launched, for example, it is not a given that with Premium ITA you will get a similar level to Senator
- It is not excluded that M&M will activate some kind of parachute for those new users who, having obtained the match, should they fail to renew the status
The advice is to put this card in your pocket. because it costs nothing and carries no contraindications. It will not bind subsequent MS requests to Miles&More; in fact, it may even simplify it.
