My CO was a status match thru 1/12, done in the 2nd half of 2010, so only had 18k EQM's.
You absolutely keep both. That's the main point of completing the match - so that you have the best possible status regardless of which metal you are flying on. As a CO Platinum with <100K EQMs in 2010 you will be a CO Platinum and a UA 1P. If you had 100K EQMs you would have matched to 1K.
