Wanted to ask about this:

Corporate status challenge / fast tracks: These may be offered to employees of specific companies, for Gold, Platinum or Executive Platinum, for flying and earning miles or points within a specified time. Some may grant interim status, which one keeps if the challenge is completed successfully.

I see my company has an offer for AA.

1) It doesn't say what level I will get. I have United gold, and need to know if that would move me to AA Gold or AA Platinum.

2) If I do the match now, do I have to requalify by Feb 2016 or will I be good until Feb 2017?
