final March I wrote about how airberlin was offering status matches to the Silver and Gold tiers in their topbonus program. While they initially didn't list any residency requirements for the status match promotion,they eventually updated it to indicate that only members in certain European countries were eligible for status matches. That was a bummer for US based members.
Well, airberlin is now officially offering status matches to those based in the US -- the terms of airberlin's status match promotion even specifically say so. Airberlin is status matching members with accounts registered in Germany, and Austria,Switzerland, and the US.
They seem to be matching all elite status, and apart from status from other oneworld partner airlines. There’s no expiration date for this promotion as of now.
Presumably if you’re matching from the lowest tier status of another airline you’d be matched to topbonus Silver,while if you’re matching from the middle or top tier status of another airline you’d be matched to topbonus Gold. They’re not matching to topbonus Platinum, which is their top tier status.
