Don't have Gold Star Alliance? no problem here's TAP Portugal's status match

You couldn't get the Gold Star Alliance status with ITA Airways? no problem now came the status match that allows you, without having to accumulate miles or segments, to become one (for a fee)

TAP Air Portugal, through the program Miles&Go and in collaboration with Statusmatch.com, reopened its campaign of status match: an initiative that allows frequent flyers from other companies to get Silver or Gold TAP Miles&Go, depending on the level possessed in the source program.

How Status Match TAP Works

To participate, you must be enrolled in the program TAP Miles&Go (membership is free) and hold elite status in one of the programs listed in the official table - including Flying Blue, Iberia Plus, British Airways Executive Club, Delta SkyMiles, American Airlines AAdvantage, Finnair Plus and many others, there are obviously no TAP allied program tiles.

The upgrade is for a fee:

• 49€ for the status Silver
• 199€ for the status Gold

The validity of the new status is 12 months, with all the benefits provided by the corresponding level, excluding the benefit "Free Gold Status for a friend".

In addition, for the first 30 days, participants will receive a double accumulation of Status Miles (up to 10,000 miles), a useful bonus for getting closer to automatic level renewal.

Do it (only) for the Gold

Getting the status Gold TAP Miles&Go means to rightfully enter the world Star Alliance Gold, and thus access benefits valid in all alliance companies:

• Free access to the Star Alliance lounge (including Lufthansa and, soon, ITA Airways once entry into the group is completed)
• Priority check-in and boarding at all airports
• Priority Baggage and extra deductible
• Access to Fast Track lanes in many stopovers

It is therefore an ideal opportunity for those who wish to travel with more comfort and privileges, even flying on airlines other than TAP.

TAP Miles&Go and Revolut: a perfect match

Another interesting aspect is the compatibility with Revolut RevPoints.

Thanks to the recent integration, it is possible to Transfer the points accumulated with Revolut directly to your TAP Miles&Go account, converting them into miles that can be used for flights, upgrades and program awards.

A smart way to Maximize the value of one's daily purchases, turning card expenditures into reward tickets or qualifying miles.

Validity and approval time

After the request is submitted, TAP verifies the documentation (photo of the original program elite card and, if necessary, an ID).

If the application is approved, the status is updated within 10 working days, and remains valid for one full year.

The promotion is limited time, so it pays to act fast: TAP and StatusMatch.com can close the membership window at any time. E you cannot take advantage of it if, in the past, you had already done other MS to Miles&Go.

In conclusion

Those who wish to enter the world Star Alliance Gold - with all the advantages that entails, including in view of the future entry of ITA Airways - now also has a concrete and convenient shortcut to be able to migrate to TAP without the hassle of starting from scratch.

With 199€ and a few clicks, you get one of the most coveted levels of aviation for one year, with lounge access, priority and benefits on over 25 airlines around the world.
