Hi- we were upgraded by our company a few years back by UA to Premier Exec, we are AA Platinums and want to get upgraded / matched again and were told it's one time- and that's it.. What if we get US to match us? Would we get the bonus miles on UA flights towards UA status? We are actually trying to build elite status on UA.. hope this makes sense.</font>
The folks on the UA/US boards will be more helpful, but I'm pretty sure that the underlying answer is no, a US Airways elite status won't accelerate your quest for UA status. A US Airways elite status might make traveling on UA more pleasant, but you'd still have to accumulate UA status-qualifying miles at the normal rate if you truly want to get back to UA Premier or higher status.
