Timing question about comping over from DL PM to AA Plat
I'm looking at trying to get AA to match my DL PM status, probably to AA Platinum.
I understand they like to do these 90-day challenges. I already have a SE Asia trip booked on them with the outbound in late Jan. and the return in mid- Feb. 2015 (AA to HKG, then CX). The fare gets 50% EQPs but would come close to the 10K (if that's what they want).
Question: When should I ask for the status match to get the 90 days that include both the outbound and return on this trip? Now, or wait?
Any other info about what to expect also welcome.
