Conclusion
Etihad again can pick and choose (like they have done previously) who they match. Seems that this offer may be targeted towards the US audience this time.
You have nothing to lose by applying for the match, however.
Etihad Airways is buying minority stakes left and right and Etihad Guest Gold benefits apply with many of the partner airlines.
Remember to email me if you Etihad Guest Gold status match was successful or not. I will have an updated piece about this month in the coming weeks.
