If you feel like opportunities to status match from one program to another are popping up left and right lately, you aren't wrong. In the latest offering, you can status match your Marriott Bonvoy elite status to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer — or match in the opposite direction if you have KrisFlyer status. Here's the latest status match offer, providing Singapore KrisFlyer status for a year and an opportunity to bump it up to another tier.
How Marriott Elite Status Matches to Singapore KrisFlyer Status
Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite and higher members get either an elite status match or status challenge to Singapore KrisFlyer, depending on your current Marriott and Singapore elite status levels.
If you have Marriott Gold Elite status…
Marriott Gold Elites can earn KrisFlyer Silver by taking two Singapore Airlines flights within six months. That means those with The Platinum Card® from American Express or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express can score Singapore Airlines Silver Elite status with just two flights in the next six months. Enrollment is required for select Amex benefits.

Unfortunately, these travelers have no path to KrisFlyer Gold or higher elite status. So, you may want to wait to link your accounts until…
If you have Marriott Platinum Elite status or higher…
Marriott Platinum Elite status or higher elites will get Singapore KrisFlyer Silver Elite status for 12 months upon linking your Marriott and Singapore accounts. Plus, you gain the ability to earn Singapore KrisFlyer Gold elite status by linking your Marriott and Singapore accounts and taking four Singapore Airlines flights within six months.

Perhaps most importantly, KrisFlyer Gold elite status gets you Star Alliance Gold status. Star Gold status scores you priority check-in, boarding, and baggage handling, plus extra checked baggage allowance and even lounge access anytime you fly any Star Alliance member — including United and Air Canada. That's true even if you're flying on a wholly domestic flight.
To recap:

To start your status match, head to the landing page here. Fill out your Marriott Bonvoy number or email and then include your password.
If you get an error message saying your user name or password is wrong, but you're certain it's right, the issue might be your location. I'm outside the U.S. right now and received an error message. Turning on my VPN and setting it to a U.S. location did the trick.
After entering your information, the site will detect your Marriott status and ask for your KrisFlyer number. As long as the names match, the process is quick and simple.
The full terms are available here, including descriptions of the qualifying flights to jump to KrisFlyer Elite Gold status. Other than G fare codes (group bookings), all other fare types are eligible for the flights required within six months.
