so again people make sure you match when the potential benefits are the best for you as you may NOT get a second chance
But my point was merrly that I doubt other airlines would tell AS anything. Most likely they know whos matching who and ask for statements if they suspect matches
smart. I really do like the way AS works I just Wish they offered a challenge to those previously matched later

wishful thinking I know

They matched my Northwest status to Gold back in 2005 and I never re-qualified with AS. In 2013 I got so fed up with DL, I asked AS if they would make an exception because I had moved back to Seattle, and had become so fed up with DL. They agreed to match my DL gold to MVP again. I guess it depends on your story and who you get to speak to?
