If you don’t know what status is, it is a level of membership in a travel loyalty program that enables you to obtain the valuable amenities that come with these travel loyalty programs. Depending on where you stay, who you fly with, etc, you could have higher status in some loyalty programs than in others.
Status gives extra incentive for members to stay at the loyalty program’s hotels and fly on their airlines. Although difficult to get, once someone does have it, it only makes sense for another loyalty program to try to get the member to switch to their loyalty programs for the abundance of their travel.
That is where Status Matching comes in. Status Matching is a method that travel firms use to get frequent customers of another firm to switch to them. If a customer has achieved a particular status level, with all of its associated amenities, there is a strong incentive for him or her to stay with the current firm. To combat this, a competing firm will offer the customer an equivalent status level within their own program. This makes it easier for customers to make the switch.
