StatusMatch started offering ClubAvolta matches in December (read more here), and I signed up for the program then. These free matches will continue until the end of February (beyond that is unclear).
ClubAvolta is the new name for Red by Dufry, a loyalty/discount program for duty-free purchases, and I have suddenly seen their branding at many of the airports I have gone through over the past two months.
You can access the StatusMatch page for ClubAvolta here.
Note that the ClubAvolta status match is free until February 28, 2025.
ClubAvolta members can save on select items when making purchases at participating shops, but there are some exclusions and limits:
ClubAvolta Status Match Process:
The match is very straightforward and here’s my report from December.
ClubAvolta matches from basically every airline and hotel program.
I decided to use BA Gold.
I took a screenshot of my BA account, which showed the account number and status.
The match page then indicated that I would be eligible for ClubAvolta Platinum.
The confirmation of a successful match came in 9 minutes.

You can link your ClubAvolta account with BA, IB, and AY and earn Avios for purchases at select airports. There is also a bonus of 250 Avios for linking your account with British Airways and Iberia.

Conclusion
I made a Reserve and Collect ClubAvolta purchase last month in Barcelona and saved significantly. I will write about my experience on Friday.
There is no downside to signing up for this ClubAvolta match that continues through the end of the month (could be extended or not), and you can also use it for an easy Radission VIP tier that you can use for their stays outside of the Americas.
