f4free, my UA status will probably have expired by the time I book ticket to fly to the USA, so can't see how AA would even consider status matching me then. 
Or am I missing something here? I didn't think they just looked at how many miles you had.</font>

AA isn't doing status matches anymore, so you're out of luck with that. If you sign up for the platnium challenge, you can get plat with with just one trip to the US. Do a search in the AA forum for details, or check
