For Italy view this page
Data point: I tried this with Club Carlson about a year ago and they gave me Silver based on HHonors Gold, so YMMV.
Thanks for info (I Update first post).. status recognized can vary (I do not know with what criteria), but (at least for me) important thing is that it is recognized.
Yes. I agree with you completely. If you're looking for a status match, then any level is better than no status.
Got Club Carlson Gold status match first time for 1 year, and after one year, also got it for a second time, based on HH Gold/Diamond...
According the Best Western site's terms and conditions page. The status match program is only available to people in the US, Canada and Caribbean Copied from T&C: Status Match...No Catch ® offer (“Offer”) is open to new and existing Best Western Rewards® members that reside in the United States, Canada or the Caribbean Islands
Thanks for info (i have update first post). In my first post, for BW I have insert link for us web site (more member of this forum are us/canadian resident). So Status Match is for members that reside in us/canada. If you do not live in this country find at "local" BW site for Status Match. For example In Italian BW web site (I am italian) status match is valid for italian resident. If status match is not valid in your country please update thread.
Can use HH Gold to request for Hyatt Diamond Trial too i recall, provided you have at least one stay on the HH account for the past 12 months.
