Through April 26, and limited to the first 1000 people that apply, Etihad Guest is offering a status match program up to their mid-tier Gold level.

The program is most beneficial for folks flying Etihad (bonus miles) and in particular in economy (with lounge access, expedited immigration, etc).

To claim the status match, email tiermatchuae@etihad.ae with a scanned copy of your current equivalent or higher status card, latest mileage statement, and Etihad Guest account number.

Hard to imagine this will benefit me, if you’re based in the Middle East this could be helpful, or just impress your friends with ‘foreign’ status.
