Trying to Status Match to CX; Not Enough Time?
Hello CX Forum,
Since I'm moving to HK later this year, I'm planning to request a status match to CX Silver. I'm currently an AC Elite member, having traveled ~90k miles in 2011 and ~15k miles in 2012YTD (with another ~20k booked through the end of March).
I'm in a bit of a tricky situation because a last minute trip just came up for the coming Monday. I'm booked on AA (via AAirpass from my employer) in Y, but instant upgraded to F.
A few questions:
1) Is there any way CX can status match and set up my account by Monday?
2) If not, can I take the flight on Monday without crediting it to my AA account, with the intention of crediting it to CX later once my account is up?
2b) This is less important, but if I do go this route (of taking my AA FF number off), will I lose my upgrade?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Nope, considering it is Sunday, there is definitely not enough time to set up a status match by Monday.
You can credit your Marco Polo account now, or if you don't have one, I believe you can receive Asia Miles later but you cannot receive Club Miles or Club Sectors.
Not too sure on this - do you mean your upgrade has already been confirmed?

In any case, thanks for all your input!
