Delta has 3 levels: Silver, Gold, & Plat. I'm expecting Delta Gold.

Does that sound in line with others' experiences?
Per the first post in this thread, Delta matches up to their middle tier, so a BA Silver, which is their middle tier, should get Delta's middle tier. When your cousin sends in the fax requesting a status match, include a list of all flights taken in 2008 to earn that BA Silver status. You should be able to get this from your BA account on their website. Indicate why you want the status match. It helps if you keep it short and positive, and list something real, like a job change or a location change.
