UPDATE: SAS EuroBonus Status Match Change In Valid Countries

Sas skyteam cards

This post was originally published on this site.

SAS EuroBonus launched earlier this month a worldwide limited-time status match offer for elite members of most Star Alliance, Oneworld, and other significant airlines. SAS has now updated which countries they match or doesn’t (previously only China, Brazil, and Argentina were excluded).

Elite members of the airlines below can match their tier to Silver, Gold, or Diamond for a fee from €39 to €349. This status match offer only runs for a limited time and can be withdrawn at any time.

You can access this offer on StatusMatch’s website here.

The good thing about this match is that your status is valid for close to two years, as it runs through the end of your current EuroBonus membership year plus another 12 months.

Also, if you match to Diamond and fail to requalify, SAS typically offers a soft landing, meaning your tier becomes Gold, which is still a SkyTeam Elite Plus tier.

The match is open to members in:

Conclusion

It doesn’t come as a surprise that SAS and Statusmatch have now decided to limit the number of countries the match is eligible for.

This has been one of the most popular matches, as you can essentially get Diamond or Gold status for close to 24 months. There’s no cheaper way to get up to 24 months of SAS Diamond status (SkyTeam Elite Plus) than this offer.

If you plan to fly with SAS or any SkyTeam member airline and don’t have status with the alliance, there is no downside to signing up for this limited-time match, and you can easily recover the price paid on one or two trips.
