LATAM has relaunched or renewed its previous status match campaign that was supposed to end in May but is now valid through October 31, 2022.
Frequent fliers from 21 airlines can match their status with LATAM Pass for a $39 fee. However, the matched status is only valid through March 31, 2023.
You can access this match here.
You must remember that LATAM is no longer part of any alliance (it used to be part of Oneworld).

Conclusion
I would not participate in this match because the matched status is only valid through March 31, 2023.
There can be some benefits of having LATAM Pass status, especially now when it is not part of any alliance. I would not, however, credit any flights into the program, as the airline is very difficult to deal with in case of any support is required.
