I was looking at the T&C's of the Merrill Lynch Signature Rewards Card and I noticed it offers American Airlines Status Match up to the Platinum level. What I am trying to figure out is if it is a 1 time match or if it renews ever year as long as you kjeep providing proof of status. (e.g. If I am Plat on Delta Each year, will American Keep matching) Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks....



b) Frequent Flyer Membership Status Match - MERRILL+2/+3
American Airlines will provide MERRILL+2/+3 cardholders with an elite status match to the AAdvantage GoldŽ and or AAdvantage PlatinumŽ elite level, excluding AAdvantage Executive PlatinumŽ. It may take up to two weeks to process the elite status match. All elite status memberships will have an expiration date of February 28th. The expiration year will be determined by the month in which the elite status match is awarded. At the end of this year, cardholder's status in this program will return to its existing level unless cardholder a) requalifies per terms of American Airlines AAdvantage program or b) resubmits proof of status on another airline, per the process described below. Copy of the cardholder's current statement reflecting such status on another airline must be submitted to Merrill Lynch in order to qualify. Cardholder eligibility for AAdvantage membership status match based on frequent flyer status on eligible carriers as specified by American Airlines.
