Airline & Hotel Status Match Guide

Which programs have run status matches or challenges, what they've required, and how to apply — plus why you should always confirm on the program's own page first.

⚠️ This is a reference, not a live availability feed. Status matches are typically limited-time, targeted, or invitation-only, and offers change without notice. Always check the program's current "status match" or "challenge" landing page before assuming an offer is active.

Submission checklist

✅Screenshot or PDF of your current elite status showing tier name and expiration date

✅Your loyalty account number for the program you're applying to (create one first if needed)

✅Proof of recent activity if requested (a recent stay/flight confirmation)

✅A note of the challenge deadline — most matches require completing a stay/spend requirement within 60-90 days to keep the matched tier

✅Calendar reminder set for the challenge deadline so the match doesn't lapse

Data verified July 2026. Status match programs change frequently — treat this as a starting point for research, not a guarantee of a live offer.
