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

Status Matching on Star Alliance
I would really appreciate if someone could help me figure this out. As I live in Australia, Star Alliance is not possible for domestic travel so I am Qantas Gold (Oneworld Sapphire). However, I am just about to embark on the following journey in July. Other Star alliance flights on various carriers are sechuled for next year.
What I am aiming for is to get enough points to get a ticket from Brisbane to somewhere, most likely New Zealand, even if its only one way. The RTW journey has some 1 Qantas flight from SYD to Hong Kong which obviously won't get me Star Alliance points but the rest is:
Hong Kong to Milan via Zurich on Swiss Z Business Class
Geneva to New York on Swiss Z Business Class
JFK to Sydney on United ( one flight number 819 via SFO)
I also have two internal flights with Air Canada - Boston to Quebec City and Toronto to Chicago - all economy restricted. Later this year also oneway flight on Thai Singapore to Bangkok in Business
Two questions:
Which is the best airline to status match my Qantas Gold to, and what level will I be matched at?
Which airline will get me the most points?
Thanks to anyone who has the time to provide this advice, I realise its a bit complex, and unfortunately I am not very good with these things.

I guess this thread is generally not about status matches within OneWorld, but if anyone is interested: I have called IB about matching (or rather moving) my BAEC Silver to them. (I am boycotting LHR and BA, so it's of no use there.)
Answer: they have nothing in place for this. (I understand take that as a "no".

Delta silver and AA gold trying to get any *A status
Hi,
I have a Delta silver and AA gold and trying to get a *A status match. I have emailed United and Continental a few times with all account info and proof but no answer.
Which *A airline do I have a chance to match these?
Thanks,

BTW, it is more likely you will need to do a challenge instead of a match but there is much more info about UA over on their forum in this thread....
