Air France-KLM is offering Flying Blue Status Match to UK residents and Elite Members of Bilt Credit Card. These promotions are relevant for residents of UK or members holding Bilt Credit Card, practically residents of USA. Here is what it is.
Flying Blue Status Match for UK Residents
Flying Blue’s status matches that of 13 airlines around the world. However, you need to be a holder of a UK passport or UK driver’s licence to be eligible for this promotion.
This promotion is paid, so you pay more for the highest elite status. Here is how much you will pay if you are eligible for the status match:
Flying Blue Elite Status | Fees | Usual Requirement |
Silver | €79 | 100XP |
Gold | €199 | 180XP |

Once you get an elite status, it will be valid for 12 months. Thereafter you need to achieve usual requirement.
You can apply for the status match here; as of now, there is no end date to the offer. But, I don’t usually trust offers without an end date as they can be ended anytime. So, its up to you when you would want to avail this status match.

Status Match with Bilt Platinum Elite
Bilt is one of the finest credit cards in the US these days. Every month I see, some transfer bonus offer on Bilt. Now, they have added a benefit for Bilt Platinum Elite members.
A Bilt Platinum Elite member is eligible for a Flying Blue Gold Elite Status. You need to activate this via Bilt app and then make a 10000 Points transfer from Bilt to your flying blue account. You can see your Gold Elite Status on your Flying Blue account within three days.
This Elite Status will be valid for 12 months.
Bottomline
Air France-KLM Flying Blue Elite Status with Status match is a great way to earn an airline elite status. However, make sure you don’t just sign up necessarily. It is better to use a status match if you have plans on Air France-KLM or SkyTeam flights, especially if it is paid.
