As I was trawling the travel sites on the net I noticed certain promotions for status match elite tiers between hotels.
I decided to give myself a mission to see how many hotel chains I can status match into without staying any nights
My first port of call was to the Le Club Accor hotels who kindly gave me their top Platinum status. I then status matched that to Club Carlson Gold (free breakfast ) .
I tried to status match my Le Club with IHG however they have dropped out and my best bet would be Best Western .
So I status matched my Le Club with Best Western and got Diamond with them and in turn matched with iHG platinum.
Hilton you can forget about but they do have a promotion for instant silver and take 4 stays in 90 days for gold upgrade.
I have to admit it takes a little time and a few emails but if your a regular traveller and want a little extra especially having at least a year at the top elite status give it a go.
Just I'm me and I will give you any info on how I did it and the emails to send
