I took advantage of the statusmatch.com status match promo offer, which is open to some airlines, including Lufthansa Miles and More Elite Status Members. My request is still processing, but in the final stages of completion. You get a statusmatch.com tracking number and it says it will take from 5 to 7 days to complete from when you begin the status match process. The status match offer cost me $99 USD or around £75.50 GBP. Once completed, I've been told, that I should have Royal Air Maroc - Safar Flyer Gold, and Oneworld Sapphire Benefits, for 1 whole year (12 months), from that date of completion.
Addendum to the above, and note to Site Admin (From Edward P),
Status Match Process, cancelled by statusmatch.com and Royal Air Maroc, at the last minute, and refunded my initial $99 fee. The reason was that they don't do status chain matching (Eg status matching with one organisation, then using that to get another status match with another). Now missed out on Oneworld Sapphire status, only now can get Oneworld Ruby :(
