Sent a feedback to request a status match from China Eastern Gold. Very quick replies from TK. They asked me to send the membership card with validity of more than 2 months showing the SkyTeam Elite Plus logo. I have also sent proof of residence, statement of flights with China Eastern, and some boarding passes. Got a 4-month Elite status. Need 1 international flight with TK to extend 8 more months; 15,000 miles to extend 1 more year. More like a challenge rather than a status match.
