UA comp in four days

Faxed my NW Platinum credentials to the Mileage Plus office on Friday (using the fax number listed in this thread) and my (status-less) UA account was showing Premier Executive on the following Monday. I also received a confirmation email from an exclusive email account - (status match email title here)@united.com confirming the upgrade in status.

I am moving back to Sydney next Spring and really have no choice but to switch back to *Alliance, despite two fantastic years of flying as a Japan-based NW Gold and Platinum Elite.

UA status match dilemma

I have recently submitted Elite status match requests for my wife and I to UA for PremEx based on our current status of Continental Gold Elite.

Within a week of submission, my wife's online UA statement confirmed her new status as PremEx . However, after two weeks waiting I am still showing as statusless. Neither of us have received e-mail or other confirmation, so I do not know whether or not I have been refused or just not dealt with yet?

Has anyone not been successful with a UA status match from a US competitor airline? Should I resubmit the fax?

I am in a little bit of a hurry as we are off to Hawaii LHR-SFO-HNL-KOA-SFO-LHR for an Xmas family vacation ^ , on UA and I had to book in E-. With status I could hopefully access E+ which would make the trip with a 5 and 3 year old more tolerable. Plus the extra points wouldn't go amiss!

Advice please

Thanks to all in advance

How long did it take for NWA to respond to you? I am AA PLT and requested status match. Over a week since faxed to them and nothing yet.

I faxed my information in. It took about 2 weeks and the only way I knew was by logging into my WorldPerks account. I still have not seen anything via postal mail yet.

NWA...will take care of you

I will tell you that if your Platinum w/NWA and don't re-qualify you will only drop down to GOLD for the next year....

But I've heard that on some other airlines (I think AA) you only drop one elite level per year, so it gives you at least a couple more years of SOME status on that airline, which could be important to some of us.

Does anyone have a quick summary or link to various airline tier-dropping policies?

AA Match DL PM?

My boss is a DL PM with over 100,000 EQMs for this year and has been PM for at least the last few years. Would AA comp Gold and register him for the Plat Challenge or would they cough up Platinum status? His travel includes lots of last minute transcon and some full-fare business class to Europe. Thanks!!!

I believe that if you are comped plat with NW and don't qualify for silver the following year, you will be dropped to dirt. If you actually qualify for plat and then don't fly much the following year, they drop you to gold.
