MileagePlus Premier Status Match Challenge (Questions, Discussion, etc.) {ARCHIVE}
Hello,
I plan on applying to a status match. I'm currently AA Executive Platinum, which entitles me to the united premier platinum match.
The problem is that I will probably won't be able to reach the needed 25,000 miles in the next 90,000 (will reach ~22,000 miles).
Is it possible to request (in advance) to be matched to Gold instead (and meet the needed 17,500 miles criteria?)
Also, how does the miles count? I now I have to fly United, but does the Business or First class bonus count?
thank you
