Free/Easy Offers to Elite Status

With the Continental Presidential Plus MC, -- you are automatically enrolled in the Hyatt Goldpassport program as a Plat!

Have the Continental PP MC, but didn't realize it offered status at Hyatt, whom should I contact Hyatt or MC?

You should contact Hyatt, & tell them that you have the PP MC (I don't know the 'offer/promo' code for it).
Did you recently get the PP MC? If so, you may get a mailing from Hyatt with the membership details & a Goldpassport card. At least that was my experience 2 yrs ago.

Don't have a Hyatt account yet, so will contact them mentioning my PP MC. I've only had the card for a few months so far.

I'm sure that if you call them, they can set you up over the phone!

See this thread as well, not so much about Status Match but more so on bonus status mile/point offers

Thanks!

Ditto....more offers/bonuses the better!

sigh. mortons is yet another unsecure webform. why are these so common nowadays, considering how much mainstream media coverage there is of identity trafficking?

AA Elite Status Challenge
Not free or that easy, but AA offers a shortcut challenge to earn Gold or Platinum status by flying 5,000-10,000 EQP within 90 days. More info at this thread: http://milepoint.com/forums/threads/aa-shortcut-elite-status-challenge.4657/

Now AA offers free status match. Search status match on "the other site"

Is anyone else having problems with the link?

Additionally, there's an EXP challenge that's free if you have top tier status on select airlines:

They occasionally have free Hertz Gold for 1P and 2P too, but I don't rent form them anymore- way too many problems.
National is offering free Emerald Club for United elites (at least 1P+, 2P's I don't know) and so far I like them way better

Yep. Not working, unfortunately. I was pretty excited about it too!

Anyone care to try this link?

Morton's VIP for members of the Premium Lifestyle Group. Some sort of executive concierge service, apparently. No spot on the form for a membership number, but there may be cross-matching by address. YMMV.

Hi Gary,
Your Sixt link doesn't work.

I think you're confused. Aegean has gone into Star Alliance (UA/CO, etc.). Aegean is not in SkyTeam (DL, etc.) and they are not currently a DL partner, unfortunately.

Only a year? You might want to double check and make sure you're not getting shorted. It's supposed to be for as long as you're a cardholder.

This is direct from the HHonors AMEX page:

HHonors Silver VIP status is yours, complimentary, for the life of your travel rewards Card.

Interesting... the letter that accompanied the card said it was just for a year.

I'll let the board know in 2 weeks if I get my VIP package

Cheers -

Bummer, looks like this is no longer active...

It appears that the Air China link for Marriott gold is dead as well...

CO and UA elites can now go for an elite status match in each other's mileage programs. Thanks to UA Insider for this information.
