First off, thanks to you
Lucky for consolidating some info from the masterful work that
gleff has done over the past few years. Here's my comparably meager contribution.

1. How much AA will start charging for elite challenges.
Gold Challenge: $80
Platinum Challenge: $150
Also, the CSR said these are non-refundable, but if you sign up for the Gold Challenge, but hit the Platinum Challenge qualification you can call up, play the $70 difference and become Platinum.

Email: diamond (dot) club (at) flybmi (dot) com
Fax: + 44 1623 724099
Along with the usual documents I assume (current elite card, statement, letter explaining why they should status match you, contract signing away the rights to your first born, etc...)

Yeah they do. Here is 'exactly' what they require as of last month (from an email received while I was status-matching for someone):
-Full Name
-OnePass Account Number
-Current Address
-Current Phone Number
-A copy of the most recent statement from the other airline showing status and current mileage
-A copy of your current elite card from the other airline

605-341-6140 is the new (old?) right one.
Also, FWIW, I 'stole' some of this from other posts around FT. So thanks to whoever (whomever?) I copied and pasted from. And the FT community at large.
