I did the Status Matcher promotion. It cost $149, and the process sometimes seemed a bit dodgy. I had to upload proof of my current status and a photo ID issued by the country where you are claiming residence. I used a driver's license as other countries issued my ID cards. The process took less than 24 hours, and I could instantly use the free seat selection perk with British Airways. Link to match: https://rj.statusmatch.com/
