Picture this: You regularly travel for work and your travel policy allows you to choose a preferred airline\/alliance<\/a> or hotel chain. You have finally earned elite status<\/a> in the program of your choice, which makes all those work trips a little easier with things like upgrades, priority check-in, bonus points and welcome gifts.<\/p>\n

Then your employer suddenly changes its travel policy and all travel is now with an airline or hotel program with which you have no status.<\/p>\n

Or maybe you’ve been loyal to a program for years but have become disillusioned with how they treat you as an elite member, so you’re looking for a brand-new company to earn your business.<\/p>\n

Or perhaps you’ve moved from a city whose airport is dominated by Delta Air Lines<\/a> to one where United Airlines<\/a> or American Airlines<\/a> is the primary carrier.<\/p>\n

That elite status you worked so hard to carefully build up now seems useless.<\/p>\n

All is not lost. Enter the world of status matches.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is a status match?<\/h2>\n
