AA Gold here trying to match to UA. I emailed on Jan 13 to [email protected]. Then emailed a second time two weeks later. Then faxed my docs just two days ago.
No response from UA yet. What a way to welcome!! I have a WAS-SEA flight coming up on Feb 8th and I really would have liked to choose better seats and have priority security. I also bought international flights later in Feb on UA hoping to satisfy the match conditions. Seems like a stupid decision now.

UA matched my AA Plat instantly with return e mail in early Nov. In fact, as I wanted it till mid Feb, I was hoping it would take a little longer to approve. Now it was to end Feb 3rd but it still shows *A Gold.

When does CO/UA "true-up' their challanges?
I got a status match from AA Plat to CO Gold with the challenge starting on Nov 6th and ending February 4th. During that time I had to fly 17,500 miles to keep Onepass Gold. I flew 18,979 miles from 12/7 to 2/2 and I was consistently recognized as Star Gold with both airlines during that time.
I checked today figuring that I'd see my status permanently as CO Gold, but no, I am now "Non-Elite" so obviously they updated the status but erroneously dumped me back to peon status!
Does anyone have any insight into how the status match challenge process works, is there a specific time of the month that status is adjusted? Or is a glitch more likely? Thoughts on how to fix etc. would be welcome. I already have an email into status match to see if they can help.
Thanks
