Hotel to airline status match — FAQ
Can you match hotel status to airline status?
Yes. Several airline programs accept a hotel elite tier as qualifying proof for a status match, so you can turn Hilton Diamond, Marriott Titanium or an equivalent tier into airline elite status without flying for it first.
Which airlines accept hotel elite status for a status match?
The airline programs listed on this page all name hotel loyalty tiers in their published match terms. The list is generated from each offer's terms, so it changes as programs open and close their matches.
What proof do airlines ask for?
Usually a screenshot or PDF of your hotel account page showing your name, membership number, current tier and the expiry date. Some airlines also want a recent stay confirmation to show the status is active.
Does a hotel to airline status match cost anything?
It depends on the airline. Some match free of charge, others charge a fee or require a challenge — a set number of flights or miles inside a trial window — before the status is confirmed.
How long does the matched airline status last?
Most matches run to the end of the current elite year, which can be as little as a few months. Check the individual offer page for the exact trial length and any requirement to retain the tier.
