At the moment Aeromexico’s Club Premier frequent flyer program is offering status matches to those who hold status with other airlines.

To request a status match, fill out the Aeromexico status match form, which will ask you for some personal information, along with pictures of the membership card and mileage statements for the program from which you’re matching, as well as a copy of your ID (presumably to avoid fraudulent matches).

Aeromexico will match you to the following tiers in the Club Premier program, based on your status with a competitor:

Matched status is valid for six months, and if you earn 40% of the mileage required to requalify, your status will be renewed.

The benefits of Aeromexico’s elite program as such are quite limited. Platinum members receive complimentary upgrades, though only on full fare, or close to full fare, tickets. In most cases you could just outright pay for a discounted business class ticket at a lower cost. So personally I doubt many will find it to be especially valuable in that regard, unless you’re a frequent flyer on Aeromexico.

However, Aeromexico Platinum status does come with SkyTeam Elite Plus status, which is the top tier status in the SkyTeam alliance. This includes perks like priority checkin-in, priority security, priority boarding, free checked bags, and lounge access on international itineraries.

This status would get you free checked bags on Delta domestically, though it wouldn’t get you free SkyClub access domestically. Unlike with Star Alliance and oneworld, all top tier alliance elite members only receive lounge access on international itineraries.

Delta-SkyClub-San-Francisco - 13
Delta Sky Club® SFO — get access as a SkyTeam Elite Plus member when on international itineraries

Bottom line

This isn’t for everyone, but if you’re looking for waived bag fees, priority check-in/security/boarding, or lounge access on international SkyTeam itineraries, this status match might be worthwhile. Keep in mind the status match is just valid for six months, though, unless you earn 40% of the required elite miles.

I wrote that I didn't have their FF# and since it was saying "Your Club Premier Account Number (if you have one):*" I thought they will apply for me and since I didn't get any emails I though maybe I should have created one before trying to match to my AA Plat. I've asked them @ [email protected] they told me to send to [email protected] but it bounced back then they've said to send to [email protected] (IDK why Europa?) and they've answered that it's no more. They took down the link too.. We inform you that the Elite Match Program is only valid for accounts affiliated to the Corporate Club Premier Program. The Elite Match Program is no longer valid for personal Club Premier Accounts. We invite you to consider one of the alternatives we have previously provided. We remain at your service. Best regards. --- We inform you that due to new regulations on the leveling process for Elite Match it is no longer available for Personal Club Premier Accounts. We invite you to obtain the Gold Level by accumulating 50,000 Premier Points on a period of 12 months, or Platinum Level by accumulating 80,000 Premier Points on the same time period. According to the above, the Premier Points that are valid are the ones that you earn with Aeromexico and SkyTeam flights, not including the points earned by Affiliated Airlines, transferred points or purchased points, among others. We remain at your service. Best regards. Claudia Contreras Analista Club Premier Club Premier Analyst ---

No match yet. Club Premier responded to me though when I emailed them: "We inform you that if you have already filled in the application on Aeromexico´s web page, it is necessary to wait for a response from the corresponding area. This area will inform you if your application is approved or denied. Club Premier does not have interference on this process."

Last time Lucky, I rarely comment. From SkyTeam website because it is more accurate about lounge access: SkyTeam Elite Plus Regardless of their travel class, SkyTeam Elite Plus members traveling on, or connecting to/from, a same-day international flight operated by a SkyTeam member airline have access to a lounge. Lounge access will be provided only at your departure airport and transfer airports, and not on arrival. For connecting customers, both the domestic and international flights must be operated by a SkyTeam member airline. Simply present your boarding passes and a valid Elite Plus membership card for the lounge agent to validate for admission.
