Hainan Airlines Fortune Wings Status Match Challenge – Airline and Credit Card Elite status matching!
– RewardsCanada.ca
Hainan Airlines and Hong Kong Airlines Fortune Wings have brought back their elite status match challenge that we saw in 2016. You will need to complete flights on Hainan Airlines (or any of their subsidiary airlines) or even Alaska Airlines to earn status faster than if you don’t take part in the challenge. What is interesting, is that you may not have to hold status with another airline but hold ‘status’ with a credit card. How that works exactly is unknown, if you have a Platinum, Infinite, World Elite, Signature credit card does that mean your eligible? It does appear that way! Or does it mean airline status you’ve earned via a credit card? The terms don’t clarify this. The Alaska Airlines component is awesome which means you don’t even have to set foot in China, you could funnel your Alaska Airlines flights to Fortune Wings for this challenge.Anyways you’ll need to email Fortune Wings stating you want to do the challenge and tell them what level you want to achieve:As you can see you’ll have a little over 3 months from the day you want to start the challenge (you can specify the date) to complete the flight requirements…Video: Master your bucket list with points
