This time, a match to the Cathay Marco Polo gold card that Amex kindly sent me

However - I enquired about 12 months ago about a status match, said that I was a BMI gold card holder and that I wanted to switch, and they offered me a similar sort of deal - fly x number of miles on UA metal in 90 days. This time it's 17500 to get *G (Premier Exec) until the end of 2012 - although their program seems to be changing come the new year, so I'm not sure which *G tier I'll be in - the 50K one, or the 75K one (not the 100K one!).

I think they refer to it as a 'mileage challenge', it's not a straight match which means you might get lucky saying you are coming from BMI...
