9. I have requested Status Match but it wasn’t approved until after I completed a stay. Can you retroactively add the stay to the challenge? No, we are unable to add any stays to the challenge that have occurred prior to being approved for Status Match. Please be sure to submit your Status Match request well in advance of an upcoming stay.

10. What if I decide that I want to save this benefit for a later time, but I have already submitted my Status Match request? Once a member elects to use this benefit and the Status Match is successfully applied to their account, this action is considered final and is not reversible. Please determine the best time to use this benefit according to your personal travel situation before submitting your request through the online form. Remember, you can only use Status Match once, so use it when you really need it.
