Status Match

A status match is when a company offers to upgrade your membership level—like from basic to premium—based on your current status with another organization, often without requiring you to start from scratch. It's a way to recognize your existing loyalty or achievements, allowing you to enjoy additional benefits sooner. For example, if you're a frequent traveler with one airline, they might match your elite status with another airline, giving you similar perks. Status matches are mutually beneficial, providing you with better privileges and the company increasing customer engagement and loyalty.
