A status match with CO can be tricky depending on the agent handling your status match request. I know of those who got matched with a copy of their card alone, while another got asked for copies of statements as well. Both were very recent status match requests.

What is the best way for me to word my request so that they will hopefully match me to CO plantinum? I am aware that some FT members have mentioned they have only received a silver match from CO for their AA platinum.
Should I wait a couple of weeks till I complete another round of flights (RDU-JFK-SFO-JFK-RDU) and wait till it shows up on my account? Does it help to mention in the letter that I am planning on transferring the bulk of my flying to CO since their Newark hub is much more convenient?
Any and all advice accepted.
