Wow, that sure was fast. I sent a message through the "contact us" form on the website this afternoon requesting a status match. I received an email reply telling me to send verification (copy of card or statement) within 15 mins. I took a photo with my iPhone of my Hyatt GP Diamond card and emailed it back. My account online now shows Gold Elite as my status. The whole process was completed in less than an hour! Couldn't have been easier. I don't know what the expiry is on my status as of now, but I can only assume it will take me through 2012, as it's already November.

Just tried to match from my Priority Club Platinum - as I am also an Intercontinental RA, they won't do the match ("we don't match from IC"), and you don't get a separate PC card. They also won't accept a copy of my statement on-line showing PC Platinum status and my 75 qualifying nights so far this year...
I understand why they won't match from a program where status can just be bought, but there doesn't seem to be a way round this.

I was given CC gold as a status match to PC Platinum in January. "We have upgraded your account status to Gold Elite to match the Priority Club Platinum status"
I wonder if they have changed their policy?

I was matched Hilton Diamond to CC Gold yesterday. Sent the email on Saturday requesting a match to "the equivalent Club Carlson Concierge status" which was not even acknowledged in the reply. I expected as much but thought why not try

Dear TheBrain,
Thank you for taking the time to write.
We do value your business and appreciate you as a Club Carlson member.
We would like to offer to match elite status that you have with other programs, we can match top level to Gold Elite and second level to Silver Elite. Our newest Concierge Elite level cannot be matched, it must be earned.
We have upgraded your Club Carlson account to Gold Elite Status
Got matched from SPG Platinum to CC Gold within a day of emailing. Did not specifically request Concierge status, but, even so, the response made a point of saying that Concierge status had to be earned.
Did a quick search and didn't find the answer to this question
If you are status matched to Gold level, do you still need the 30stays/75nights or is it fast track based on the gold status?
Thanks in advance for the insight!
It is still 75 nights and 30 stays.
Also, I wanted to add my status match experience to the thread. I sent an email with a screenshot of my Hyatt Diamond Account Summary to goldpointsplus [at] carlson.com. Received an email about 24 hours later matching me to Gold.

I sent my status match request to clubcarlson@carlson.com two days ago with the proof of my other club's platinum membership info and heard nothing back from them. Did I use the correct email address?

No upgrade luck fro me with my Acoor C-Club Platinum status. I received this reply:
"Thank you for taking the time to write.
Unfortunately, we do not status match with Accor's A-Club. We do value your business and appreciate you as a Club Carlson member. We would like to offer to match elite status that you ave, with either Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Priority Club, and Starwood only. We can match top level to Gold Elite and second level to Silver Elite. Our newest Concierge Elite level cannot be matched, it must be earned.
In order to match status, please provide us with proof of current membership, either a copy of your current loyalty card or current statement showing your current status."
Got status matched using the email provided above as well as the Contact us on their webpage. The email proved quicker as I had sent in an account screenshot and was approved. The webpage email asked me for proof to be sent. Emails were sent 5 minutes apart. Took about 4 days for a response.
