ITA Airways Extending Status For Another Year For (Some?) Previous Status Matchers

11

ITA Airways sent a pre-Christmas gift this past week that you might have overlooked if you were eligible for it.

When ITA launched their Volare loyalty program last year, they almost instantaneously offered a status match. That didn’t count for much at the time, but potentially became more useful when they later joined SkyTeam.

That status was due to expire at the end of this year, but the gift from them this week was an email stating that the status will be extended for another year.

ITA Airways Volare Status Extension

I took AAdvantage of this promotion last year by matching my American Airlines Executive Platinum status (itself given to me via Hyatt back in 2019). It hasn’t been put to any use over the last year, but I’m more than happy to have it extended in case it comes in handy during 2023, whether that’s from flying SkyTeam or parlaying it into status elsewhere.

The email from ITA Airways had the subject line “We have a gift for you”, so if you status matched with them a year ago keep an eye out for that. I received the email on December 22, but they might have sent emails on more than one day and possibly with more than one type of subject line.

Here’s the content of the email:
