Status Match
Sunday Reader Question: How do I get a Turkish Airlines status match?

WestJet Status Matching until January 31st
This deal has been going on for awhile, but as the January 31st deadline is fast approaching, and Air Canada status is expiring, it makes sense to apply for the WestJet status match program.
Air Canada Status Match
Here's the process:
Email status.match@aircanada.ca the following information: A scan of your competitor's card, your Aeroplan number, and a screenshot of some sort of Air Canada flight activity that you've taken within 1 year on your Aeroplan page.
*When I first sent the email in April 2014, my AB card was active. When I got a re-request email, they asked for a new scan, and at that point, my AB card was inactive. I explained that, and it didn't seem to be an issue.
**This process took a very long time: 82 days to be exact! Just be patient, and reply with all the information they request, even if it's a repeat.

Status matching is the process by which an individual who already has airline status, usually with one of the three major alliances (Star Alliance, OneWorld, and Skyteam), presents that status to another airline, and the other airline provides the passenger with equivalent status in their program.
