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.
