Airberlin Topbonus members with status equivalent to Oneworld Ruby or higher can now get a British Airways status match to BA Executive Club Bronze status.

To apply, just send an email to [email protected] with your Executive Club membership details and attach evidence of your airberlin topbonus tier status by the 30 November.

Technically, the offer is only available to members resident in Germany, but it shouldn’t be too challenging to get around that if you were so minded to do so…

BA Bronze status doesn’t really get you a whole lot to be honest and seems a bit a of rough deal for Topbonus members who have status equivalent to OneWorld Emerald. Perhaps more interesting is an additional offer for 9,000 bonus Avios, “take 4 flights with us before the 31 December 2017 we will also credit your account with 9,000 bonus Avios – enough for a return reward flight from Germany to London”.

Bottom line

Good to see BA offering this to Topbonus members, but you would have thought they might have been a bit more generous and at least matched up to BA Silver for some members.
