## Summary

Royal Jordanian is closing its flash paid hotel status match to Royal Club Gold Sparrow on November 5, 2026 instead of November 7 after overwhelming demand. Gold Sparrow is Oneworld Sapphire, valid for 12 months. UK and EU hotel elites are eligible.

Mid- and top-tier hotel status is priced at USD 149 for Gold Sparrow. Entry-level hotel members pay USD 49 for Silver Jay or USD 248 for Gold Sparrow. Approved status typically posts within 5 business days. A Royal Club membership number is required. Payment must be made with a card issued in an eligible country. Applicants must live or reside in an eligible country and may face an ID check. Matched members do not receive upgrade vouchers until they requalify. Only listed hotel programs and tiers qualify.

Oneworld Sapphire includes lounge access and extra baggage. Priority check-in and boarding come with the tier, and some Alaska and American lounges on US domestic flights are included. Demand is high after British Airways and Iberia moved to revenue-based earning.

UK and EU hotel elites who want 12 months of Sapphire should apply on the StatusMatch site before November 5, 2026.
