Before accepting the EK status match, check their rules regarding whether this is in principle once in a lifetime, etc.

Also familiarize yourself with their program to check whether your travel pattern would earn status and many award tickets, etc. The fact that you're not GS with UA suggests that you're purchasing cheap coach tickets, which don't earn much in many FF programs.
