I faxed mine to DL regarding a match from AA Plt to DL Gold on Nov 7, and still no news....not sure what to do either especially since people are saying they are hearing within 24 hrs!

That depends, what status are you matching with and what elite level are you hoping to achieve? NW will match to top tier while DL will only match to mid-tier.

same question.. appreciate sage advice...
I am UA 1k out of SFO.. Corporate travel pretty much exclusively and generally get UA booking. More of my travel is going through Atl and UA has greatly reduced route and increase fares to ATL. I expect the bulk of my travel in the next year will be UA so I am looking for a 2nd alternative. I doubt I'd book NW in lieu of UA given my u/g instruments on UA
I assume SM on NW would not help much if I fly Delta in 2009 - I will be hard pressed to realistically fly >25k miles on either.
Unless I am missing something it would seem my best alternative would be to ask for Delta Gold SM.

coldfoot, if you match to NW you could get Platinum status comped, and now that DL and NW have reciprocal upgrades, this would be your best bet, in my opinion. Upgrades on DL clear for NW Plat members before DL Gold members.

Thanks... I wasnt aware reciprocal status allowed this...
Can you please update this thread with the following information re: Lan Chile (Oneworld), this airline does match status but you must follow the procedure outlined in this thread:
SCAN and email or FAX your AAdvantage paper statements to LANPASS (+562-5658983) or Gerlanpass@lanchile.cl
[...]
Tha category match was done immediately. I received the pack some weeks later. This year upgrade coupons are electronic, so no need to wait for the package.
Today I have 149500 EQK (K=Kilometers) with LANPASS. This means I'm qualifying for Comodoro (emerald) in my next trip, even if I fly to the nearest city.

Lan Chile elites get free upgrades, which can be quite valuable and the Oneworld status means free lounge access with AA, BA and others.

Also lucky, you can update the British Midland instructions to...when I asked what they wanted to see, they said "send us your statement showing your status". The card was not needed when I matched.

CO status match from Flying Blue?
I'm currently Gold (Elite +) on Flying Blue.
Moving to Colombia early next year, would be interested in a status match on CO OnePass, so I can take advantage of the perks (especially elite-status upgrades) on CO, CM and AeroRepublica, before and after the switch to *A.
Any idea whether I'd me matched to Elite+ status, starting 2009? Is there a CO email address I could write to for a preliminary assessment/advice, before sending in all the documentation?
