Virgin flying club - BA Gold already - can I use this to get Virgin Gold?

I wonder if anyone has had any experience (and can advise on) any way of utilising having gold membership of one airline in getting gold membership of another? I am BA Gold and Virgin Silver - is there a tried & tested technique that anyone can recommend to "persuade" Virgin that it would be in their interest to go gold?

Thanks

Give them a list of your confirmed forthcoming flights in Upper Class...

Oh, and welcome to FT!

BlackCat is right, if you have already booked say three return UC flights, and you have BA Au status, VS may consider fast tracking you. But only may and depends on the circumstances ... VS does not status match willy nilly as some other airlines are refuted to have done in the past.

I shall try and get my business to get me some more flights to the US asap :-)

Thanks

skinnric , welcome to FT.

It's called status matching, and your best bet is BMI.
