About the status match
Club Avolta, an airport duty-free alliance, now offers status matching. With elite airline or hotel status, it is easy to match to their top-tier Platinum status. You can also then match onward to elite status with Radisson hotels.
There are quite a few airlines and hotels that qualify for matching, and you can check the full list here. Hilton, IHG, and Marriott elite status is easy for many people to get just by holding the right credit card, so a quick match can get you all the way to the top tier.
The left column shows statuses that match to their Gold tier, and the right column shows statuses that match to Platinum.
About Club Avolta
Club Avolta has a wide store footprint, with 5,000+ locations in airports worldwide. Europe has the largest concentration of stores, so it may be worth using when you travel.
Club Avolta elite status offers up to a 10% discount, which can be quite valuable if you shop at duty-free stores often.
When you shop, remember to have the store scan your code.
Partners
In addition, Club Avolta also partners with a number of airlines, hotels, lounges, and restaurants to offer extra points or discounts.
Matching to Radisson
After looking into it further, I found that the hotel match is a bit unusual. If you have Club Avolta Gold or Platinum status, you can get elite status with Radisson. This backdoor route to Radisson status is pretty nice.
- Club Avolta Gold to Radisson Rewards Premium status
- Club Avolta Platinum to Radisson Rewards VIP status
