Lufthansa To Acquire ITA
One thing to remember is that Lufthansa will buy ITA at the end of this year. This means you can potentially have your status recognized by Lufthansa when this happens. However, at the time of writing, Lufthansa has not indicated how it will handle elites from the Volare program when it does so.
Either way, this promotion can be worthwhile if you are looking for Star Alliance elite status, as you may end up with it automatically come 2025.

Our Take
If you are looking for SkyTeam Elite status for the next several months, this offer has turned up just in time. However, if you have no immediate use for the status, you are better off passing on this deal.
But what makes this offer particularly intriguing is the potential for Star Alliance status come 2025, when Lufthansa will acquire ITA. Thus, if you want to roll the dice and hope for Star Alliance status, ensure you apply for this status match by August 19, 2024.
