"CO & NW don't normally match eachother because of the alliance..."
Unfortunately, I know that is the case. I was wondering though if I could use the transitive property. Hope to one non-One Pass airline and then hop to NW from them. Is that possible?

Not sure that it would work thegeneral. Usually they require a faxed statement and card - not just the card. Unless you have a lot of upcoming travel planned on your "hop-to" airline...I doubt they'd comp status. YMMV though.
According to the conversations that I have had with AA phone agents, they are not doing any status matches now, and are only doing challanges. They said that they do matches as a promotion a few times a year, but not right now. Sorry.
Check with your corporate travel office...
AA does status matches up to Platinum for our company w/ equivalent credentials, no challenge required.
Chris, good point, but the new year is coming up and I do have a little AA mileage in an account. I'm not sure they would be able to know the difference.
Got a CO Platinum match from US Airways CP in a couple of hours
Yesterday I received the plastic card and the elite kit. The card expires in
Feb 07. Shouldn't it expire in 2008?
Thanks!
Same thing happened to me this week when the card arrived. The letter indicating status til year end and the card indicating status thru Feb. When I did this for NWA, the status grant included all of the next year.
On another note I am currently enjoying my first SPG plat suite upgrade (in Mexico) as a result of the status match from Marriott Plat.
regarding the delta "challenges" to match, is the status bonus then given posthumously to all the miles flown to meet the challenge requirement? exaxmple: i am about to fly 25k eqms this month and therefore would meet any challenge for Gold Medallion status delta will request of me; will delta then go back and give me the Gold Medallion bonus (100%) on the 25 k miles i had just flown? thanks!!
