I sent in a NW status match request on 9/2 and haven't heard back. Got an email that NW and Delta programs will be merging early next month so wondering if NW will actually status match or drop the request due to the merger timing.

Any suggestions on whether I should also send in a request to Delta or just wait? Have some NW flights coming up in about 10 days so would really like to have status match on SkyTeam if possible.

By the way, I've been a UA 1K for many years but finding it harder to fly UA for personal and business due to UA's 20%+ higher fares lately for most travel I've looked into. Too bad because I really do prefer UA and *A but really can't continue to justify their high fares.

Thanks
